I watched The Raven tonight.

I'm not sure what I was expecting it to be, but I certainly didn't expect that.

For those who don't know, it's a comedy about a sorcerer named Erasmus Craven (Vincent Price), who is visited by his friend Dr. Adolphus Bedlo (Peter Lorre), who has been transformed into a raven by a rival sorcerer named Dr. Scarabus (Boris Karloff). After Erasmus reverses the spell, Dr. Bedlo claims to have seen Erasmus's lost wife Lenore at the Castle of Dr. Scarabus, and the two set off for his castle. Scarabus denies the accusations, but the truth comes out, and the whole thing culminates in a low budget magical duel.

Because that totally sounds like something Edgar Allan Poe would write.

Great timing. Roger Cornan just passed away at age 98.

For total contrast, watch '35 The Raven with Lugosi and Karloff. Lugosi's Dr. Richard Vollin is insanity on steroids.

@JSul3 Yeah, I'll check that one out.

And yes, I'm aware of Mr. Corman's passing. That's why I watched it.
