MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

A pair of witty horror films penned by noted fantasy author Richard Matheson have been paired up for this special DVD release. Both The Comedy of Terrors and The Raven have been transferred to disc in letterboxed format at the widescreen aspect ratio of 2.35:1, which have also been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors.
