Carnival of Souls is a low-budget ($33,000 in 1962note About $324,000 in 2022) American B-Movie horror film produced, directed, and co-written by (and co-starring) Herk Harvey, which did mediocre business upon release but has become enough of a Cult Classic to merit inclusion in The Criterion Collection. In fact, some people consider it to be the best "B" movie ever made; both David Lynch and George A. Romero have cited it as an inspiration, with Romero stating that Carnival of Souls gave him the idea for Night of the Living Dead.A young lady named Mary (Candace Hilligoss) is riding in a car with her girlfriends when another car pulls up and challenges them to a drag race. Mary's friend unwisely accepts, and the two cars zoom off on a high-speed race, which ends when Mary's car plunges off of a bridge and into a river.Police and first responders are dragging the river in search of the car when a dazed Mary staggers onto dry land. After she recovers she leaves town, having been hired to play the organ at a church in Utah. All is not well, however, as Mary starts to experience terrifying visions of a ghoulish, undead man (Harvey) stalking her. When she isn't having these horrifying visions, she is experiencing other terrifying interludes when, for no apparent reason, no one can see or hear her. And then there's the creepy abandoned old amusement park, which Mary inexplicably finds herself drawn to...One of only a few films to be riffed twice by Mike Nelson: First on the colorized DVD released by Legend Films, the second time with help from Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett on RiffTrax.In 1998, a Wes Craven-produced In Name Only remake was released, which received mixed, mostly-negative reviews. While it, too, is available on DVD, it's a pretty safe bet that it won't ever get a Criterion release. | |

Trapped in a Sinking Car: The car race in the opening scene ends in tragedy when the rival car nudges Mary's off the bridge and into the muddy river below. Mary miraculously manages to get out and come up to the river shore. Except she didn't, she drowned with her friends and we're treated to her lifeless body sitting in the car when it gets pulled out of the river. | |

Riddle for the Ages: The Twist Ending leaves many unresolved questions: was the whole story Mary's Dying Dream? Or did her ghost travel to Utah and did the characters who interacted with her not realize that she was an apparition? Or were they also ghosts? Who was The Man? The Grim Reaper? Someone she knew in a previous life? Her consort for the afterlife coming to claim her for himself? | |

Christianity is Catholic: The priest wears a collar, and the church looks like it could be a cathedral, but he could also be an Episcopal priest (in Real Life, the church was an Episcopal church in Lawrence, Kansas). He amusingly notes that it's not the biggest church in Salt Lake City. | |

Motifs: Water is either present or referenced to in a lot of the scary stuff which makes sense given the opening and the Twist Ending. It's inconsistent though as some of The Man's appearances have nothing to do with water. The soundtrack is mostly pipe organs, which is what Mary's job is - church organ player. | |

Informed Attribute: The song that gets Mary fired sounds slightly dissonant, but not much different from everything else we hear her play in the film, including the song she played when she introduced herself to the Priest. But he acts like she used the organ to open a portal to Hell itself. The reason for the Priest's offense is more obvious when you consider that Mary's music changes from sacred church music into profane, carnivalesque music during her trance. | |

I'm Standing Right Here | |
| Carnival of Souls / int_d9fe8277 | comment |
I'm Standing Right Here: One of the clues that Mary is a ghost is that a during a few scenes, people stop being able to perceive her at all. | |

Kubrick Stare: The Man gives a positively chilling one when he emerges from under the water of the amusement park pool. | |

Sugar-and-Ice Personality | |
| Carnival of Souls / int_e24a1629 | comment |
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Mary is oddly inconsistent in her behavior towards John. She blows him off when he first tries to talk his way into her bed, which makes sense enough as he is a creep. But the next morning she is friendly and flirty when he comes over with coffee. | |

Jerkass | |
| Carnival of Souls / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: John, who is sleazy, creepy, temperamental, and all-around unempathetic. The priest turns into one when he snaps at her and fires her for playing "blasphemous" music when she's clearly disturbed. He feebly tries to offer the church's help as she walks out, but it just makes him seem even more insensitive. Downplayed, as he is later seen in the search party looking for Mary. | |

Practical Effects | |
| Carnival of Souls / int_fdbdc112 | comment |
Practical Effects: The scene where The Man's face appears on Mary's car window as she's driving had to be done in camera due to the film's low budget. Herk sat in the back seat with a flashlight while a mirror rigged to the car's side projected his reflection on the window. | |
