The Raven (1935) was a horror film revolving around Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, featuring Bela Lugosi as a Poe-obsessed mad surgeon with a torture chamber in his basement and Boris Karloff as a fugitive murderer desperately on the run from the police. This harrowing film viscerally disturbed many viewers of the time, but many critics currently agree that it displays Lugosi's finest non-Dracula performance. Lugosi had the larger role, but Boris Karloff received top billing in huge letters as "KARLOFF," with his first name dropped in the fashion that Universal Pictures adopted while Karloff's career was at its height.
