Mike Flanagan’s latest foray into television is upon us, and this time it’s a spooky take on Edgar Allen’s short story, The Fall of the House of Usher.

The eight-part adaptation, which also intertwines other stories from the writer, revolves around despised business mogul Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood).

The Netflix show begins with the mysterious deaths of all six of his adult children, and it’s the how and why of their deaths that unfolds over the course of the series, with the show jumping back and forth in between several timelines to do so.

A brilliant soundtrack reflects these different eras, with songs from Pink Floyd, Bonnie Tyler, and more, as well as a score composed by The Newton Brothers.

Read on for everything you need to know about the soundtrack for The Fall of the House of Usher.
