Me too - So creepy when he chuckles to himself too : /

Has anybody seen the Roger Corman film adaptations of Poe's work? I know film adaptations scarcely [If ever] do the writers any justice, but I'm interested in writing about Poe [within a dissertation], and wondered if mentioning adaptations would be worthwhile?

By the way, I also disagree that the raven in The Raven represents Lenore. To me it symbolises his mental torture, and it is there as a reminder until he can accept what has happened. As a couple of you have said.
