So What is The Raven (1963)
The Raven is a 1963 American comedy Gothic horror film produced and directed by Roger Corman.
The film stars Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Boris Karloff as a trio of rival sorcerers.
The supporting cast includes Jack Nicholson as the son of Lorre's character.
It was the fifth in the so-called Corman-Poe cycle of eight films largely featuring adaptations
of Edgar Allan Poe stories produced by Roger Corman and released by American International Pictures (AIP).
The film was written by Richard Matheson, based on references to Poe's 1845 poem "The Raven".
AIP released the film as a double feature with Night Tide.
Oh and before you ask, I copied that from wikipedia. :9
Anyways... here's a table of some of the notable actors. Personally speaking, the reason I like this film is due to
Vincent Price, and it's loose connection to Edgar Allen Poe. It's an overall wacky movie, and for its success at the
time, it's wild to think that this was only shot in 15 days (the movie doesn't show it if you ask me).

| Vincent Price | Dr. Erasmus Craven |
