- The Raven, absolutely! It's funny, with good plot, sets and characters. It
- also stars Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Jack Nicholson. It's directed by
- Roger Corman, and is about a contest between two sorcerers. Don't get it
- confused with the one starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. It's good too,
- but has to do with revenge against a doctor in post-war Europe.

- This constitutes about a third of his works. Of all of them, the one
- I don't reccommend is SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN. It's bad, in all the
- wrong ways. It's disjointed, the plot jumps from place to place without
- reason, and it's not really sure whether it's a vampire movie or a mad
- scientist movie or a robots taking over the world movie. Very confused,
- even for a cheapie.

- Enjoy
