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!
