Carnival of Souls: The Original Theatrical Version (Criterion)

Herk Harvey's macabre masterpiece gained a cult following through late night television and has been bootlegged for years.Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest budget,Carnival of Souls was intended to have the "look of a Bergman" and "feel of a Cocteau," and succeeds with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score.Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) survives a drag race in a rural Kansas town, then takes a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City.En route, she becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her to an abandoned lakeside pavilion.Criterion is proud to present the ultimate special edition of his eerily effective B-movie classic that continues to inspire filmmakers today.
