Well yes but to be a pedant - poes bird is a Raven - both are corvids, but Corvus brachyrhynchos is a different species to Corvus cryptoleucus or Corvus corax.

and Poe's protagonist is only scared because the coincidence of him praying over his dead love and raven answering him with an ominous word. However, the Simpsons tried to make this a horror thing, but before I saw that episode I always thought it was more about despair than fear: "my soul shall be lifted nevermore" because of his mourning over his lost lady
