It seems The Raven is quite popular,and rightfully so. So I am not surprised it gets a lot of readings,nonetheless I still did not see half these actors doing such a performance when there are other things.

Here we go

1. The classic Vincent Price

2. The equally classic Christopher Lee

3. Darth Vader,.....I mean James Earl Jones

4. Christopher Walken of all people

5. Heck,...even Discord

Who is your favorite? Who seems to really capture the feel of it?

Personally the only one that comes off a little wooden is Christopher Lee of all people.

It's the best time for this kind of stuff,so fire away

James Earl Jones did it on "The Simpsons," didn't he? For the first Treehouse of Horror?

For my money, it's Vincent Price. All his Poe readings are excellent, though Basil Rathbone (he doesn't read "The Raven" but he does some of the others) is good too.
