DVD Review
Carnival of Souls
review by Gary Johnson
Carnival of Souls is one of the finest low-budget horror movies of the '60s. Filmed by Herk Harvey in Lawrence, Kansas and Salt Lake City, Utah with a cast largely comprised of amateur actors, Carnival of Souls oozes atmosphere and paranoia. It gives us a story reminiscent of The Twilight Zone: the lone survivor of an automobile accident (a plunge into a river) has visions of a ghoulish man with crazed eyes who appears wherever she goes.
