The Raven (1963)
My sister asked me if I had any Vincent Price movies.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a teen... can't remember exactly... maybe 10th grade? The school library actually had it so I borrowed The Raven and another vintage horror. I think it was another Poe story (except it actually stuck to the material) about a house?
My memory is crap, but The Raven was just as cheesy and fun as I remember. Nice to see Boris in a more charming role, despite being a villain.
Favorite part; *guy is evaporated into jam* Welp, time for bed.
EDIT:
THE JOKER WAS IN THIS?!
I keep forgetting Jack Nicholsen was once young...

Barbara Steele is in this little flick. Always think of Repo when I see her name in the credits.
This was so delightfully creepy. Much closer to Poe's tale than the last one. And at least this wasn't a comedy (not that I hated The Raven, but... c'mon guys). I only have one problem with it. We get to know every character, if only a little bit. Even the maid had a few lines. We see a male servant every once in a while, always entering a room at the end of a scene, but we never hear a word or get to know him at all. And he's the guy we gotta root for at the very end of the movie in the climatic fight scene. It was a bit distracting just trying to cheer and not even knowing what name to encourage on (creds say it was 'Maximilian').
