    #Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 322/1000: THE RAVEN Three legends of the horror screen come together in this colorful film adaptation of a classic Edgar Allan Poe story. Its not just your ordinary B-horror movie because of its masterful use of visual effects, most especially during the climax scenes.

    Another #Monsterdon is in the can! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting! Tonight's feature, #TheRaven , from 1963, was another Roger Corman film. Ties to the Edgar Allen Poe piece were superficial at best, with Richard Matheson (the screenplay writer) choosing to take a comedic view to the project. The film was shot in only fifteen days, and contained a large amount of ad-libbed lines, mostly from Peter Lorre. Highlights included:Vincent Price!Talking raven!Magic potion stew!Diabolical Mind…

    My favourite way to do counterspells is you have to counter the spell by casting any spell that justifies why it would cancel out the spell. If you haven't seen The Raven magic duel, you must! youtu.be/xHunA6CYHvo?...

    So many #Monsterdon reactions made me keenly aware that a lot of people didn't know how influential this movie was on comic books and other movies and animation. I was reading a Dr. Strange comic when #TheRaven came on a Saturday morning Creature Feature and it blew my mind. I looked at Vincent Price and thought, hey, that's Dr. Strange! It wasn't, but I could see how it *could* be. I loved it. Still do. It's not a great movie or even a good movie, but it's a *fun* movie!

    #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days #22 The Raven (1963) How do you make a film out of a short poem like The Raven? Why, you turn it into a comedy about battling wizards of course. A bit slight and shallow but great fun nonetheless. Should probably and do the 1935 version at some point too.

    Wife found the movie The Raven, starring Vincent Price, featuring a woman named Lenore & a raven. Based on that info, you, like me, might think this was an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's work. It ABSOLUTELY is not. It's a bonkers medieval comedy story with cheesy-even-for-the-time effects.

    8. THE RAVEN (1935) Half a good movie. Dreadfully dull set-up: serial-killer Karloff is turned into a monster by Poe collector Lugosi to force him to help murder love-obsession's Drip Fiancee & other enemies in a torture-chamber mansion. Once action really starts, it's too little, too late 2.5/5🛩️
