Timing is right for the trailer to "The House of Usher." I loved watching this show as a youngster and still do now.

Of course we had to memorize "The Raven." I found his stories fascinating and compelling rather than scary -- of course these days I'm much more of a scaredy cat and probably wouldn't want to watch "The House of Usher" if I were home alone. :)jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868976411159042945.post-80477906750457523952014-10-10T10:37:32.242-04:002014-10-10T10:37:32.242-04:00I loved all the Poe stories when I was a teen.

Recently I was trying to remember the last time I went to a haunted house, and I think it was about 15 years ago. That was enough!

I always thought they were (to them) so farfetched that they were just pleasure, not too scary, especially compared to today's horrors. This poem, that 'tintinnabulation' word is lovely on the tongue, I think. I enjoyed your own haiga, too, Diane.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
