The Fall of the House of Usher (1928 American film)
The Fall of the House of Usher( 1928) is a short silent horror film adaptation of the short story" The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe.

An avant- garde experimental film running only 13 minutes, the visual element predominates, including shots through prisms to create weird optical distortion.
There is no dialogue in the film, though one sequence features letters written in the air moving across the screen.
A music score was written in 1959 for the film by the directors' friend, composer Alec Wilder.
His 1959 score was his second attempt( after the score for winds, brass and percussion which he did for them originally in 1929), and he composed it for a recording of the New York Woodwind Quintet and a percussionist, conducted by Leon Barzin.
The film and the 1959 score were later synched together by James Sibley Watson, and this was the version that was placed in the National Film Registry in 2000.
Various new scores have been composed to accompany the film, including American composer Jean Hasse's version( 2010) for the UK ensemble Counterpoise( violin, trumpet, saxophone, piano), this version available to view on YouTube.
