Carnival of Souls
Directed by Herk Harvey
A woman begins seeing mysterious ghostly figures following her after a car crash in this creepy cult classic from 1962 which anticipates the films of George Romero and David Lynch. After specializing in industrial films, director Herk Harvey (who plays one of the ghouls) poured his heart and soul into what would be his only narrative feature. But after an initial box office failure, CARNIVAL became a cult classic to future generations, who connected with the film's atmospheric TWILIGHT ZONE-meets-Ingmar Bergman style. A must-see film for any horror fan.

I like watching most old black and white (original ) films 🎥 because they’re usually quite phycological in nature. They weren’t allowed to show too much gore back then so they had to rely upon the scary and spooky stories not just blood and guts. This one is not the best example of one of them.
Normally I like old black and white horror movies as well wwinter86, but this was just blaaaaaaa.
I normally like older movies but found this very boring. Also, her love interest was super creepy and pervie. Yet she kept going out with him so just weird.
So good! Loved it.
Not bad for a oldy !
