two Ravens

You guys probably wouldn't confuse these two movies, but there was the thirties movie The Raven and the 1960s spoof The Raven, both starring Karloff. The 1970s one also had Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Hazel Court, who was born to wear low cut dresses.

Trivia: I think I read in FM that some of the best lines in the movie were ad libs by Lorre. Like the scene where they are down in the crypt, and Lorre rubs the dusty old stone wall and says "Hard place to keep clean, huh?"

FM also reported that Karloff begged the director to get rid of the great big scarlet cloak he wears in the movie, because it was so heavy.
