Production

The Raven was filmed in the October 2005 and November 2005, for the most part in Marina Del Rey, California and Venice, California. A sequence was shot during a Halloween festival held along the Venice canals.

The recording studio sequences and the pool-side murder sequence were filmed at the San Fernando Valley home of Robert J. Walsh, who wrote the music for the film, including co-writing (with Lommel) the original song, "Dead of the Night." The house features an unusual guitar-shaped pool.

The various exterior scenes of Skinner in his mountaintop lair were filmed in the hills behind Malibu, California. Some of these scenes were reportedly directed by producer Jeff Frentzen.

The first victims of Skinner include a record executive (portrayed by producer Jeff Frentzen) and his assistant, portrayed by the film's editor, Brian Lawrence. One of the priests in the exorcism scene is portrayed by British film critic Calum Waddell.

The trained raven used in some scenes was named Oscar.
