Armageddon Creeped Out 24: Bradbury Should Sue

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

The Chicken of Wrath converses with Mr. Asslan and finds he is at pains to believe some of the things he’s hearing. Mr. Asslan pulls out some special effects!

For this week’s Video Goodie, we have a swell Roger Corman horror comedy: The Raven (1963), with Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and Jack Nicholson! It’s featured down below the banners.

Above is an assortment of Fission Chicken-related items that have been spotted all across the land! Oh all right, I made them up with various graphic online generators… you can find many at The Generator Blog.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a Fission Chicken animated feature? You can see a short ‘teaser’ for such by clicking the left thumbnail below! The right thumbnail will display the earlier “Squash” bit:

Vincent Price is the good guy in The Raven (1963); he’s a reticent sorcerer (Dr. Erasmus Craven) who is approached by a talking raven who begs him to return him to his human form, Dr. Adolphus Bedlo (Peter Lorre). Craven learns that his supposedly dead wife Lenore (Hazel Court) might actually be alive… and in the thrall of evil sorcerer Dr. Scarabus (Boris Karloff)! Jack Nicholson plays Bedlo’s inept son Rexford. This is a classic horror-comedy, with all the old pros enjoying themselves. Lorre gets laughs with offhand lines (”Hard place to keep clean, huh?”)… I read somewhere that Karloff was annoyed by Lorre’s ad-libs; he preferred to stick to the script. Film has little to do with Poe, but plenty fun anyway. And you can watch it in nine parts on YouTube!
