The Raven (1935)
The other night I was looking for something to watch and I came across The Raven with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. What a great movie! This isn’t Edgar Allen Poe’s Raven. It’s completely different. I’m ashamed to admit that I had never seen it before. (Please don’t yell at me). So I got myself comfortable and hit play. I can’t believe that I’ve missed this one.

The Hinterkaifeck murders happened in a small town in Bavaria. It was owned by the Gruber family. On March 31, 1922, all six family members were mysteriously murdered.

Time to Dress Spooky!
Have you picked out costumes yet? If you’re like me, you want to be as scary as possible. But if you’re a couple looking to do a theme – a lot of the costumes are either played out or incredibly stupid.
