Product Description:
Carnival of Souls (Enhanced) starring Candace Hilligoss (1962)
This film has been enhanced using a Video Enhancement Program that reduces noise and enhances video quality.
A horror film released in 1962, both produced and directed by Herk Harvey for an estimated $33,000. The movie never gained widespread public attention when it was originally released as a B film. However today, it has found wide spread acclaim as a cult classic.
Starring unknown actress Candace Hilligoss, Carnival of Souls relies heavily on shoestring atmosphere, rather than special effects, to set its mood of horror. After wandering into a small town to begin her new job as a church organist, after an auto accident that she is the lone survivor of, young Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) begins to get some strange vibes. She seems to be invisible to the normal people in town while being confronted by every pasty-faced ghoul walking around dead on their feet. This is a must own for any fan of the horror genre.

Rating: - In the dark, your fantasies get so far out of hand
Some brilliant directors only make a few movies. Herk Harvey made over four hundred -- but sadly, he only brought his astounding talents into one non-educational movie.
That one brilliant movie is cult horror flick "Carnival of Souls," a nightmarish tale of a young woman who is lingering on in the world of the living -- and is pursued by the dead. Made for a piddling seventeen thousand dollars, this little gem is as eerie now as it was in the 1960s.

Rating: - With a Twilight Zone feel but more Ominous leftover feeling...CREEPY
Twilight Zone anyone? I have always thought that Carnival of Souls has had a Twilight Zone feel, or maybe they were just trying to make a buck off the cult following it had generated. At any rate, this Cult Classic, made on a shoestring budget, is sure to please any fan of the Horror Genre. I recommend watching this movie at night with the lights off, the ominous effect will stay with you for days.

Rating: - A fantastic Cult Classic for the Horror Genre
This deservedly acclaimed cult classic may be the eeriest, most compelling and most unforgettable horror movie of all time.
The camera work is beautiful. The organ music, creepy carnival and director Herk Harvey as the figure of Death are all masterpieces of each actors work. On watching the film I was captivated and fascinated and ultimately at the film's conclusion had a strange feeling of déjà vu.
Several fantastic scenes exist in this film including the scene where Mary ... Read More
