Here is Vincent Price reading "The Raven". There were several readings I found on youtube including James Earl Jones and Christopher Walken ( after hearing him read "Poker Face" here - I can't take his voice seriously readings anything any more). I chose to post the Vincent Price one instead because of who he is. If you didn't know, Price is famous classic horror movie actor with quite a remarkable voice.
Interestingly enough, I've mentioned Vincent in a post below, a short film by Tim Burton. Not only is the stop-motion film narrated by Vincent Price (also used in Burton's Edward Scissorhands) but it is also inspired by Poe's The Raven!!!

I really enjoyed the reading by Vincent Price, but I preferred the short film Vincent more. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I have read "The Raven" many times and this was the first time I had ever seen Vincent. I had expected more examples of "The Raven"'s influence in the short film, but I still believe it is definitely a work Poe would have done himself as Vincent is the definition of creepy little goth kid.
ReplyDeleteSO happy you loved Vincent. It's so creative and just perfectly eerie.
