October 26th - 18. An A24/Blumhouse/Roger Corman/Hammer/Universal film
The Raven (1965) is a PG Horror film that fells like it should be shown on Saturday mornings to introduce young children to ideas of horror. This is a mixed bag for a Corman film because a number of the Special effects look and feel absurdly cheap. This was almost like the "Grown ups" version of horror where Karloff, Lorre, and Price just camp it up for the very short runtime. And to be fair the humor definitely exists even though it is very dated. To me this is lesser Vincent Price which is a shame because I had been saving this one for this year's Halloween.
