The Raven (1935) Trailer

[Leatherbubba]

I think I like this better than The Black Cat.  I feel Lugosi is best when playing villains, and Karloff is at his best when playing tortured misfits. This film provides both.

I've seen this film hundreds of times since the mid 60s...can't seem to tire of it.

Arguably one of Lugosi's finest screen performances ever.

I dare say it's the cornerstone of his career.

And this...your version of a 'Trailer', is SUPERB !

I now watch this and I'm totally satisfied without having (seemingly) missed anything.

I only wish we were neighbors now.....

Just found this video. this is EXCELLENT WORK! My brother and I have been big classic horror movie fans for over 50 years. The Raven is one of our all-time favorites! Your Trailer really compliments this movie! Years ago, we would memorize the lines and scenes and act them out. We had a lot of fun with this movie!! Another of our all-time favorites is "The Strange Door" (1951) with Charles Laughton and Boris Karloff. A true classic from Universal Pictures. Have you seen that one?

@johnwoa,

Thanks so much! No, I have not seen that one.

here's a triple bill i'd like to see:

murders in the rue morgue, which takes place in the 1840's

the black cat, takes place in the 13's but with direct references to ww1

the raven, set squarely in the 1930's

the lugosi-poe trilogy in order of occurance, if not production.

bela lugosi is my husband!

The Angry Video Game Nerd says that Lugosi's performance as Dr. Volin is probably Lugosi's best... even better than Dracula, I actually see what he means.

Brilliant. Simply brillaint. I've been wanting to see this movie for some time, but now I want to see it even more!

[RandomChaosprod]

@KHwhitelion You can't watch it anywhere for free and its pissing me off. I'm gonna have to ask my mom to get it for me, which sucks ass.

Great job. Would you consider doing more?

[wahoo76]

Wow, I like this trailer better than the movie...

[friendofgaara]

I absolutely love this movie. It's one of my favorites and you did a marvolous job in creating this trailer.

[LawrencetheMinstrel]

I had seen this excellent trailer a while back and just now I was thinking 'hmm, I want to watch something with lightning, organ playing, and mad laughter.' Check.

Totally love this.

[arisztidoltz]

Did you make this yourself?

[LittleLassieK9]

Gosh, this is an AMAZING trailer! EXcellent job! 100/5*

[ImhotepsAshes]

Masterful! This has always been one of the unfortunate Universals where the trailer has completely vanished, but this is a marvellous substitute. A great representation of a great film in all its sadistic glory!

[filmbuff2000]

Thanks very much!

[luvdomus]

Excellent trailer. Gives basic plot overview without giving away too much of the "good stuff"! You obviously love the film as much as I do.

[filmbuff2000]

Thanks!
