The Raven (Lugosi and Karloff)

[neverending]

It really was- it's one of my favorite horror comedies- and Lorre WAS great as the raven. Not to mention the appearance by a young Jack Nicholson.

I read a wonderfully humorous review on the 1930's "The Raven" - albeit a little negatively critical!! But it did make me laugh!

The Raven from 1935 is one of my favorite horror films of the era especially pitting Karloff & Lugosi together.

Another great one with Karloff and Lugosi together again was The Black Cat.

Both of these have been reissued on DVD by Universal in The Bela Lugosi Collection which also contains Murders In The Rue Morgue, The Invisible Ray & Black Friday.

This is a great collection for horror fans!

Yeah, I just picked it up the other day at Deep Discount store. It's really good stuff, but I was most impressed by the Raven.

I LOVE this film! Though The Black Cat is still my favorite Lugosi/Karloff film.

I never cared for the '63 film , though I love Lorre and Price, I just couldn't get into it.

I had always found Bela overly dramatic in his roles, though Bride of Frankenstein and Raven were enjoyable precisely because of this. There was always this curious flair about him. On hindsight, why not when one has to memorize one's lines phonetically. It sure added a unique touch to his intonations, making his performances that much more eccentric.

Last I saw him playing a tiny role in Bodysnatchers with Karloff. A treat! :)

Lugosi was not in Bride of Frankenstein.

[Doc Faustus]

I believe he means Son of Frankenstein. The biggest name besides Karloff in Bride was John Carradine with his delightful fake moustache.

Oops. Actually, I meant Bride of the Monster.

And that would be a she. :)

My apologies.
