The ground-breaking surrealist chiller in restored 35mm.
Very few regional horror movies are strong enough to be considered miracles. But CARNIVAL OF SOULS is a miracle beyond miracles. After a mysterious car accident, Mary (Candace Hilligoss) takes a job as a church organist. Subsequently, she finds herself tormented by a mysterious ghoul . . . and his undead friends. Shot in Lawrence, Kansas and at Utah’s majestic Saltair Pavilion by industrial filmmaker Herk Harvey, CARNIVAL OF SOULS is like nothing else on the planet. With its stunning black and white photography and ghostly organ score, this eerie, thoughtful dreamscape influenced everything from George Romero’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD to David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD. Prepare to have your skeleton rattled. (Joseph A. Ziemba)
