Abstract
In the year 1839 one of Edgar Allan Poe’s greatest macabre masterpieces “The Fall of the House of Usher” was published. This piece, along with others Poe wrote, such as ''The Black Cat”, “The Cask of Amontillado”, “The Raven”, was used as an inspiration to numerous other authors and TV show producers in creating their horror works. Through comparative interpretation, this paper aims to highlight the similarities between Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” and FX’s TV show American Horror Story which has eight seasons with more to be aired in the next couple of years. Themes used for comparison, which happen to be some of the most frequently used tropes in gothic literature, are the haunted house, mental illness, claustrophobia, incest, burying alive and coming back from the dead. In analysing the TV show, its four seasons were used: Murder House, Asylum, Coven and Cult.
