Simon Moro, ein alternder B-Movie Horrorstar, dreht 1968 seinen letzten movie – ein Low-Budget-Remake von Edgar Allen Poes »Der Rabe«. Moro, der sich über die harmlosen zeitgenössischen Horrorfilme aufregt, sieht den Sinn seines eigenen künstlerischen Schaffens darin, die verkommene Öffentlichkeit mit einem überwältigenden moralischen Schock aufzurütteln. Seinen größten Erfolg feierte er in den 20er- und 30er-Jahren mit »Ghoulghantua«, dem erschreckendsten movie aller Zeiten. Sein Ruhm ist zwar inzwischen etwas verblasst, aber sein Ruf als skurriles und geheimnisvolles unique eilt ihm noch immer voraus. Moros Leben ist Legende, und Warner Williams, ein abgehalfterter Journalist, der eine Reportage über den Dreh des »Raben« schreiben will, versucht ihr auf die Spur zu kommen. Und dann ist da noch Terry Cowan, der amoralische und zynische Regisseur, der unbedingt Erfolg haben muss und sich eine ausgetüftelte Marketingmaßnahme zur Präsentation des movies ausdenkt. Doch Simon Moro wäre nicht Simon Moro, würde er nicht seinem Credo treu bleiben und die Präsentation am Ende in ein grausames und großartiges Spektakel verwandeln.
