- Quotes
Dr. Craven: [Opening lines] Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,/ While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, / As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door./ "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door. / Only this and nothing more."
- Alternate versionsOne version has the climactic wizard duel without the rotoscoped bolts of magic.
- ConnectionsEdited into Not of This Earth (1988)
Featured review
This is true magic. You will be shaking but not through horror. The Raven was made to amuse and it does.
The magician's duel may lack 'modern effects' but for their day they were pretty impressive. And the warmth and humour shines out in all the characters.
And yes, Peter Lorre dressed up as a Raven IS hilarious.
