Every weekend we're watching movies together...whether you're in Pennsylvania USA, or Sydney Australia. It's a throwback! Back to the days when you had the anticipation for waiting till the weekend to see the classic horror or science fiction film that was listed in the TV Guide. The plan is to watch a movie at 7:30PM on Saturday night in your own time zone. Or, if you can't Saturday night...anytime during the weekend. Then, we'll all get together and e-mail our thoughts on the film...a few paragraphs...or simply a sentence if you'd like. After-viewing reviews appear on our Creepy Classics/Monster Bash News Page. See the latest thoughts posted by viewers there now. Concept submitted by Mike Adams of Carteret, New Jeresey. The movie from January 28, 2012: SATURDAY'S MOVIE: "CARNIVAL OF SOULS" (1962) After a terrible car accident a woman sets out for a new life as a church organist. She is haunted by zombie-like spectres and her organ playing sounds possessed. Low budget and truly creepy. Also known as CORRIDORS OF EVIL. Movie suggested by John Clemons, Union City, CA.
CARNIVAL OF SOULS is a little movie in its own time and own little creepy world. A woman is in a horrible car accient when riding with some wild teenage friends. The car careens over a bridge to a watery grave. The young woman (Candice Hilligoss) is seen stumbling in the river mud, in shock. She appears as the only survivor. Trying to re-group her life, she arrives at a small town in answer to an add for a church organist. She appears to be in a weird trance, never focused. The townspeople are odd and she encounters a haunting at a closed amusement park. A corpse-like man then keeps appearing to her....dreams or not? A film that rises well above its low budget origin thanks to some seasoned industrial film makers trying their hand at a horror movie. An interesting note that I learned from the documentaries on the Criterion version of the DVD. The carnival/amusement park nightmare scene was shot at an actual amusement park when it was closed. Today that amusement park still exists...but it's rusty remains are underwater as some geological change flooded the area where it was, and it has remained underwater for decades now. A bizarre and creepy footnote itself! -Ron Adams, Ligonier, PA
"Carnival of Souls" is one of the creepiest movies ever made. From the outset you just know something is not right with Mary. The film's low budget greatly enhances the dark mood of the film.
