Horror Classics: Carnival of Souls (1/50)

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: Does CARNIVAL OF SOULS deserve to be labelled "classic"? Considering the number of films that were obviously inspired by it, I say yes.
Review: CARNIVAL OF SOULS is the story of Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss who only starred in one television series before and one movie after, 1964's THE CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE) who finds herself in a very unfortunate situation: she's a passenger in her...

Brilliant film and edition (Criterion)

Date of Review:  May 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: A magnificent film in an authoritative release by Criterion. If you love "Carnival of Souls," the Criterion 2-disc set is essential.
Review: This review refers only to the Criterion Collection Special Edition 2-DVD release of 2000 (UPC 715515010221)--not represented by the accompanying photo.

In reading professional and informal reviews of Herk Harvey's 1962 independent film...

The Most Famous Movie Ever Made in Lawrence, Kansas

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2000
Review: Herk Harvey was working for Centron Films in Lawrence, Kansas when he first concieved the idea for Carnival of Souls. He had taken a vacation to Salt Lake City where he had seen Salt Air, a crumbling, dilapidated resort on the shores of the great...

The movie that started it all

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: The first of it's kind, and one of the best
Review: Carnival of souls is a movie that is very much ahead of it's time. It's like the first David Lynch movie, but in 1962.

Herk Harvey directed this movie. Other than this, he pretty much worked on educational films which is kind of sad...

Marginally Dead.

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: "Carnival of Souls" asks what -- really -- might it be like to experience a marginal existence between the living and the dead?
Review: This effective and uneasy film is something like a full-length episode of the Twilight Zone, a TV series that was popular at the time of the movie's release. It's cheaply made, the black-and-white photography is grainy, the story basically simple,...

This Ride of Life

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2007
The Bottom Line: The movie is slow but has a good story and ends on a strong note. A great offering for fans of old movies.
Review: You have to love old horror movies. Okay, I guess you don't have to, but it sure is interesting to see the entertainment of a bygone era. Horror has always been popular since before movies had sound. Think about it, what silent movies have...

"Herk" Harvey's Fascinating CARNIVAL OF SOULS

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: An amazing low budget wonder, a true thinking-man's horror film packed with eerie atmosphere and haunting beauty. Harvey's film is a work of art.
Review: Once again proving that you don?t necessarily have to have millions of dollars, great special effects, blood, or even a monster to make a good horror film, Harvey ?Herk? Harvey?s 1962 film, his only feature film, CARNIVAL OF SOULS is an absolute...

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2000
Review: Ever since it was filmed in 1962, CARNIVAL OF SOULS has had a well-deserved reputation as a cult horror classic. I recently had the pleasure of seeing it at a little independent theater in the company of a charming young lady. We got to experience...

Don't overlook this classic

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2002

Review: CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962)
Starring Candace Hilligoss, Frances Feist, Sidney Berger, Art Ellison, Stan Levitt

If you're one of the many (too many) who haven't seen this little gem, let me just tell you: This...

Where Chefs Wes Craven And George Romero First Learned To Cook.

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: Herk Harvey was a superb stylist. I wish he'd made more than he did.
Review: I am probably going to write quite a bit about the film's two big twists, and I'm not even sure I'm going to make an attempt to avoid it. However, right now there are more important aspects I wish to bring to light. So, if right now you're trying to...
