Carnival Of Souls - To me this is very much akin to a more obscure Night Of The Living Dead. A similar era on a very small budget and much it has this strange thing that a lot of the films had during the final days of the B-movie, in that it seems rather uninteresting, almost campy, at first but it evolves into something quite extraordinary (Planet Of The Apes is another example of that kind of later-B Movie)

When watching the sound bugged me because it's a very quiet film and you can struggle to hear the dialogue (perhaps because the low budget didn't allow for overdubbing so the audio's all "live", as it were) but it helps build a creepy ambience. The ending is just wonderfully and disturbingly bizarre.


THX 1138 - What is this doing here!? Other than the shell dwellers I can't see how this is a creature feature. Regardless, I like it. Though a George Lucas science-fiction film, it's very different to Star Wars, it's darker, more subdued and experimental, more like 1984. It also has a good cast for a low-budget independent film as it stars Robert Duvall (who was associated with Lucas and the film's producer and Lucas's mentor Francis Ford Coppola) and Donald Pleasence.

Scars Of Dracula - I've seen it...can't say I remember much of it.

Scars Of Dracula isn't an essential film to watch but it is one of the more violent hammer films.
