Behind-the-scenes production of the collapse of Ashe's ancient house

Edgar allan poe's novels can be divided into two categories: horror novels and mystery novels. The Fall of Ashe Mansion belongs to the former. Edgar Allan Poe claims that the characteristics of his novels are "to elevate the funny to the grotesque, to develop the fear to the fear, to expand the wit to the ridicule, and to turn the grotesque into the bizarre and mysterious". The film The Collapse of Ashe's Old House conveys the horror and mystery of the original work through extraordinary artistic skills such as photography angle, close-up, overlapping pictures and lens movement. Although the film was well received by critics after its release, it failed to achieve a satisfactory box office. It is worth mentioning that luis Bunuel participated in the creation of this film as an assistant.
