Carnival of Souls
Directed by Herk Harvey
A woman begins seeing mysterious ghostly figures following her after a car crash in this creepy cult classic from 1962 which anticipates the films of George Romero and David Lynch. After specializing in industrial films, director Herk Harvey (who plays one of the ghouls) poured his heart and soul into what would be his only narrative feature. But after an initial box office failure, CARNIVAL became a cult classic to future generations, who connected with the film's atmospheric TWILIGHT ZONE-meets-Ingmar Bergman style. A must-see film for any horror fan.

Gorgeous. Super creepy. Mr. Linden is such a rapey slime ball.
Dated but still a bonafide creepy and surreal classic. And there are few characters as disgusting and irritating as Mr Linden. You’ll wish you could slap him through the screen.
For the most part, about how I expected. Dated in a lot of ways, but great atmosphere. The music was unexpectedly excellent. The big surprise was how much I love the landlady. Just such a wonderful character.
Fantastic. Creepy. Classic.
