Refreshments will be available for purchase. BYOB.On Wednesday, October 15, Movies @ Old Town Hall is proud to present Carnival of Souls, directed by Herk Harvey, 1962.
A young woman 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 becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her toward an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest 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. Herk Harvey's macabre masterpiece gained a cult following on late-night television and continues to inspire filmmakers today.
Carnival of Souls is 78 minutes long and rated PG.
