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.

Not bad for a oldy !
Liminal and dreamy
It’s part of film history. You gots to watch it, folks. Original and highly influential film. Although, the annoying and poor acting of the neighbour is jarring. I get that his character is meant to be annoying, but the portrayal of the character is cringe. Ignore that twat and enjoy the rest.
oldie but a good one
One of my favorite horror films from the 60s. It goes to show that you don’t need to rely on jump scares & gore for a scary movie. It’s creepy in all the right ways.
