Carnival of Souls
Herk Harvey’s macabre masterpiece CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962) gained a cult following on late-night television and continues to inspire filmmakers today. "This miraculous motion picture is a dip into the Midwestern uncanny ghosts haunting the long flat highways and abandoned amusements." (Movie Morlocks) CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962) screens Wednesday Oct. 16 @ 7 PM part of The Essentials series at Moxie Cinema. This series is Free for Moxie Members. Full lineup below. Tickets available soon.
A young woman (Candace Hilligoss) in a small Kansas town survives a drag race accident then agrees to take a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City. En route she is haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her toward an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Made by industrial filmmakers on a small budget the eerily effective B-movie classic Carnival of Souls was intended to have “the look of a Bergman and the feel of a Cocteau”—and with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score it succeeds.
