There is an entire chapter in the book Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub constructed around the poem The Raven
- Adam Marlow 213.48.38.13 15:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I notice that SNL's repeated Halloween performance of the poem is missing. From my recollection it involved Frankenstein, Tonto and somebody else attempting to read the poem with no inflection. Wdarling —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wdarling ( talk • contribs) 02:22, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
Just to add to the comment on Black House, part III of the novel is entitled "Night's Plutonian Shore", which is also a reference to The Raven. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.76.208.81 ( talk) 19:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
Just checking... did the raven in Neil Gaiman's American Gods actually say the F-bomb, or is that vandalism? It's recently been edited by an anonymous IP. Midnightdreary 15:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I just finished completely redoing the article - it seemed very disorganized and not very helpful, and I thought it could be a nice reference if properly cared for. Most significantly, I tried to organize all the entries into sections, but I also copyedited the entries, and removed those that didn't seem suitable. Those in question are included below for discussion or exploration, in the format:
My only other thought is that we should hunt down some more artwork to include here - with so much text, it seems like it would definitely be reader-friendly to include something nice to look at while you're reading!
When Andrew Wiles and Richard Taylor presented the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem at Boston University in August 1995, a poetry challenge was made to celebrate this event. One of the poems is derived from "The Raven", you can read it at http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~leejstem/mathematrix/poetry.html#b.
The 2005 Novel 'From Fear to Flattery' by Tony Hughes parodies the poem by using Bigfoot instead of a raven as its main character
In a children's TV film a barber claims he had made the hair of many musicians, including maestro Herbert von Karajan. The latter has left an autograph with the word "Nevermore."
There is a parody by Dan Black floating around the internet, which ends with the line Quoth the Server, 404, referring to the infamous URL not found error message. See for example [1].
Another "Quoth the Server" parody ( Quote #120296) is found on Bash.org, where the wording has been altered to use some computer terminology, and to be about Internet pornography. The full version of that parody can be found at Quoth the Server 404.
Other computer-related parodies are the various versions of "The Maven", "Geeks' Raven", "Poe Puree", "Windows Maven" and "Ravin" Raven and Mavens
On the 2005 album, This Godless Endeavor by the American Progressive Thrash Metal band, Nevermore, in the title track, there is a line which says "Then I heard a sound come rapping, tapping on my door". However the song is not inspired by the poem.
In October 2005, Level Ground Press and Artist Bill Fountain published an illustrated re-imagining of "The Raven" incorporating many Raven myths and legends from around the world into the visual interpretation of the story.
In the Dutch literature book "Ontdekking van de hemel" (Discovery of heaven) from Harry Mulisch, a crow appears with the name "Edgar".
The comic strip Shoe ran a strip in which a large, strange, black bird was sitting at Roz's bar, uttering random words starting with "never-" or ending in "-more" (e.g., "Livermore!"; "Nevertheless!"), when one of the regular characters announced that the raven was bombed.
An excerpt of the poem appears in Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, a GameCube game developed by Silicon Knights.
In Stephen King's novel Insomnia, Ralph compares an omen to the raven of the poem.

Image:Poe-Elder-Raven-Mad-1954.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It would have been nice to have brought changing the name of this article to discussion before doing it. Notice that there is a whole category of Category:Poems in popular culture and the norm among those articles is "[poem title] in popular culture". -- Midnightdreary ( talk) 12:04, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
