Sat, Oct 26, 2pm, at Port Richmond Library, 77 Bennett St, SINY 10302
We’ll screen “The Raven” – a hilarious send-up of Poe’s classic. Starrying Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and a very young Jack Nicholson. This B-movie classic is an “embellishment” on Edgar Allan Poe’s immortal poem. But the embellishments go so far afield that the poem is all but unrecognizable. Hilarious, but almost unrecognizable – though the bird does make a personal appearance. One critic called it “Cheesecake meets pure cheese.”
Kids will get a kick out of the saber-light swordplay between Vincent Price and Boris Karloff.
Fun for all ages!

The Oblong Box is one of Poe’s mysteries 
at sea….
Who was that mysterious family on the ocean voyage? Where did the wife go, every night after midnight, aboard that vast ship? And what’s up with their crazy luggage? Who travels with a six-foot suitcase?
