    The best narration since Christopher Lee. Thank you, Doug.

    When I don’t watch the video and just listen I picture Pinhead reading bedtime stories

    Good Lord, Doug, that was fabulous. I've been aware of this poem's fame forever, but have never appreciated it until I heard you perform it.

    Mr. Bradley, Sir. Since 8 years I am wearing a tattoo with the raven and the last verse of this poem and never met someone who appreciated that masterpiece as much as I do nor someone who even knows this. And then you came with this interpretation and my heart could burst out of my chest. Two men I deeply admire united through my favorite poem. Both legends, both forever in my heart.

      I saw Hellraiser when I was 8 and fell in love. I have a Pinhead tattoo and he's one of my favorites.

    I can now listen to this poem by 4 people: James Earl Jones, Christopher Walken, the late great Vincent Price, and now Doug Bradley. Thank you Doug for the wonderful performance.

    How absolutely enchanting.
    Before hearing this, the Spine Chillers recitation was absolutely my favorite, but this feels even more flowing, more right.
    Many luminaries have offered attempts at this piece, but, in my humble opinion, Mr. Bradley has brought it to life like no other. My deepest appreciation.

    Grazie Doug , quanti insegnamenti nei tuoi video.
    Il persuasivo signore del piacere assoluto , si racconta come il veterano di tante battaglie... Con tanta inglese
    ironia ( ricordi .. il dietro le quinte di Hellraiser: Inferno . )
    Con quella gonna, in un balletto improvvisato .
    Sono cresciuto nel teatro
    .. un puzzle dannato .

    Doug, this is by far the best recitation of The Raven I've seen and heard. It comes closest to the pathos I hear when I read the poem.
    Edit: Just learned you played Pinhead. Cheers mate.

    Beautiful! My first novel, "Israel Rising", launches on Poe's birthday, 1/19/21. It's about a Poe-obsessed serial killer, and it is, in a small way, my love letter to the first great American writer. Thank you for this great performance.

    I think there should be a Doug Bradley-Guillermo Del Toro collaboration of Pablo Neruda's work in Spanish and English. It could be a theme: "Poetry In Awesomely Accessorized Living Rooms."

    The Raven is epic. That such a creature connected with bad omens (when there are ravens, a battle will happen. so the ravens will gatter there to get some tasty..eyes...Diablo1 cinematic) i really like your voice and getting into it. Personally im kinda against "pushing" you into your Pinhead role, but since Lemmy passed away, i would really enjoy a personal rundown on your site with the Motorhead - Hellraiser Video. Thanks and take care, i will be watching/listening.

    Rarely do you have a writer's insight into what he wrote. Poe wrote an essay in which he detailed this poem's composition of "The Raven". The piece was inspired by his correspondence with Charles Dickens: www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/69390/the-philosophy-of-composition.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I normally HATE this poem. I HATE hearing this poem as it is often to my torment.
    Oh, but to hear you speak it, to hear your emotion behind it. It just shreds my heart to hear men torment me for my name. It is not my fault that I was born in December, nor upon Odin's day.... Though I embrace these for strength and wrap them around as a thick shroud about me... I nearly drink my mead and watch those around me. I read, and watch, is that so wrong? To just read... and perhaps watch? Your voice, it's like a soothing balm...
