This movie directed by Herk Harvey is a classic and good horror movie. I remember watching it with my mom and being really freaked out. Who else liked this movie. I watched the remake made in '98 and i didnt like it as much at all.
I JUST REALIZED THIS IS ALREADY A THREAD STARTED BY SOMEONE ELSE. MY BAD!

I agree it's a great classic horror movie which is quite chilling with a good premise which has been copied many times over the years.
It's also in the public domain now so you can download it for free at the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/details/CarnivalofSouls)

Excellent film. Truly talented film-making, considering the budget and unknown actors.

I bookmarked that page. That movie might be interesting as long as it has subtitles. :o

A classic, hands-down. It had a Twilight Zone feel to it. Very moody, effective use of lighting.

Definitely. The original is a kind of creepy that belongs almost entirely to it and Polanski's Repulsion. I go back and forth on which one captures those feelings the best.
i think its a great example of where low budget can be made into something really fascinating and disturbing

Herc's other films had titles like "What About School Spirit?" and "Pork: the Meal with a Squeal." But here he really seemed to be touched by genius.
