In one scene, a newspaper is seen with a headline containing the phrase "Serial Killer." While the film is set in 1849, the term "Serial Killer" did not exist until well into the 20th century. Various sources state that the term was coined in either the 1960s or 1970s.

Edgar Allan Poe: Take this kiss upon the brow!/And, in parting from you now/ Thus much let me avow/You are not wrong, who deem/All that we see or seem/Is but a dream within a dream.

Maddux: I believe that God gave him a spark of genius and quenched it in misery. But as far as something like this... The only thing he's ever killed is a bottle of brandy.

Is 'The Raven' based on Poe's poem?
A
No. The Raven is a fictionized account of the circumstances leading to the death of American author Edgar Allan Poe [1809-1849], who was found delirious and near death in the streets of Baltimore, Maryland on 3 October, 1849 and died four days later at Washington Medical College. The movie does, however, mention several of Poe's short stories, including the titled story, 'The Raven' (1845). The screenplay was written by Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare.
