17 Disturbing Edgar Allan Poe Easter Eggs in "The Fall of the House of Usher"

While Morelle (Crystal Balint) gets her name from an 1835 short story, "Morella," her character's journey is akin to the one shown in "Berenice." In the latter, Poe paints a disturbing horror story of a man who rips out the teeth of his betrothed following her burial. Freddie brings Morelle back home after she survives the third-degree acid burns all over her body, having attended Perry's orgy in episode two. As his increasingly dangerous coke addiction impairs his judgment, he starts drugging Morelle with a paralytic nightshade to torture her. In one of the most disturbing scenes, he takes pliers and rips out all of Morelle's teeth, which is quite similar to the shocking revelation of "Berenice."
