As human beings, we can’t accept death. Most of us have trouble reconciling the end of one’s existence and the afterlife. It’s a hard pill to swallow — but it’s an inevitable conclusion that comes sooner or later. In life, we love and are loved, hoping that we make some small dent in the world. In death, we hold fast to the people we once were, desperately straining to stave off such a brutal coda. With both Herk Harvey’s wonderfully-peculiar Carnival of Souls and Alejandro Amenábar’s dream-like The Others, the characters learn what it means to live and die and how dangerous holding on can be.
Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) works as a church organist but shows no interest in religion itself. She simply perceives it as just another job. “I’m not taking the vows; I’m only gonna play the organ,” she tells her new boss,...

“It’s funny… the world is so different in the daylight. In the dark, your fantasies get so out of hand. But in the daylight everything falls back into place again.”
Carnival Of Souls (1962) screens Thursday October 5th at 7:00pm at Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Avenue Maplewood, Mo 63143).
It’s often the case with horror films that the best ones are those that rely on the power of suggestion rather than gallons of fake blood and impersonal computer-generated special effects – think of the work of Val Lewton, for example, which showed a rare intelligence for a much-maligned genre.
Herk Harvey’s Carnival Of Souls (1962) was shot on a budget with no big-name stars, and yet succeeds in unsettling the viewer to a degree that goes far beyond many of its mega-budget rivals. A young woman, Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss), survives a plunge off a bridge in her friend’s car and,...

Guest writer Bill Shaffer takes us back to Lawrence Kansas in 1989, for a cast and crew re-premiere of Carnival of Souls. By Bill Shaffer Note from Glenn Erickson: I think I first crossed emails with Bill Shaffer around 1998, when I was still the editor for MGM Home Video and just beginning to write MGM Video Savant. Bill sent along info that helped me convince the MGM restorers to include a flashback at the end of Duck You Sucker. Although I didn't find out until much later, Bill was a producer at the PBS station Ktwu in Topeka, Kansas, and had actually interviewed Eli Wallach once about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Bill became a major source for info and connections when it came time to do the extras for the MGM releases of the Sergio Leone movie; all just to help out. I think the fact that...

A film that’s as influential as it is frightening, Herk Harvey’s Carnival of Souls (1962) is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on July 12th from Criterion. Poor Mary Henry and the ghouls who haunt her will appear more clearly than ever before, as the Blu-ray features a new 4K restoration as well as a lengthy list of extras that should please fans of the horror classic:
From Criterion: “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,...

Herk Harvey's $30,000 dollar horror film Carnival of Souls (1962) is a cult-film, a low-budget, black and white shocker that spent years on cable access and in the public domain but still elicits both scares and confused looks. Whenever I mention the film at a cocktail party, I tend to get one of two responses. "Hell yes! I grew up in Lawrence, Kansas (where the flick was lensed). We watched that one all the time!" Or "Never heard of it, sorry!" The film isn't a particularly well-constructed or well-acted yarn. Harvey and John Clifford, who began their careers making industrial films for Centron Films, didn't have the time or resources to iron out the kinks. Yet, Carnival of Souls is a in a different league than Plan 9 from Outer Space (1958). Harvey's film, unlike Ed Wood's, is actually quite chilling and he is able to squeeze aesthetic blood from his low-budget turnip.

Recent films like Paranormal Activity and The House of the Devil owe a debt of gratitude to Herk Harvey’s cult classic, Carnival of Souls. The film was made for a mere $33,000 and relies on dramatic black-and-white photography and a dreamy atmosphere to conjure the horror beneath the everyday. A young organist’s life is transformed after a car crash and she becomes haunted by a ghostly figure. From the start of the film (there are no opening credits) we are jolted into Mary Henry’s (Candace Hilligoss) world. A drag race sends Mary’s car plummeting into a river, but she mysteriously survives [...]
