The arrival of fall means a lot of things - the weather starts to dip, the leaves change, the scary Halloween decor comes out, and Netflix releases another chilling mini series from writer-director Mike Flanagan. This year’s offering is The Fall of the House of Usher, based on the story by fright master Edgar Allan Poe and starring Flanagan regular Carla Gugino.
Carla was the star of Flanagan’s 2017 thriller Gerald’s Game, about a woman who’s husband dies while they’re spicing up their sex life and she ends up trapped in bed with no way free herself, sparking a shared fantasy between men worldwide involving Carla, a silk nightie, and a pair of handcuffs.

She came back for his first spooky Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House in 2018, where it was Levy Tran and Kate Siegel who got sexy and sapphic, with Kate revealing some nude boobage in bed.

Flanagan would bring Siegel and more back for 2019’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, but not before dropping the film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep, which features a bare naked Chelsea Talmadge in bed with Ewan McGregor. Just a taste of her creamy curves are enough to keep you up at night!

2020’s Bly Manor would give us more lesbian liplocks from Victoria Pedretti and Amelia Eve, plus a look at South African sex kitten Alex Essoe in lacy lingerie.

While Usher reunites Carla with Kate and her Gerald’s Game costar Bruce Greenwood, some sci-fi Skinners are awaiting the day Flanagan reteams with Mandalorian star Katee Sackhoff, who showed some daring cleavage back in his 2014 horror Oculus.

Here’s hoping one of the things falling in Flanagan’s latest House is clothes to the floor!
