Mike Flanagan is back just in time for Halloween with a spooky new series: The Fall of the House of Usher.

A terrifying take on Edgar Allen Poe’s short story of the same name, the series revolves around despised business mogul Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), whose six adult children have all died at the beginning of the show.

As the how and why of their death is explored over the course of the eight-part adaptation, the show jumps shifts between several timelines.

While it can be hard to keep track of these jumps back and forth in time, fortunately a brilliant soundtrack does most of the work by mirroring the different eras, with songs from Pink Floyd, Bonnie Tyler, and more.

Read on for everything you need to know about the soundtrack for The Fall of the House of Usher, which also includes a score composed by The Newton Brothers.
