CARNIVAL OF SOULS
Here we have a genuine low-budget cult oddity, a classic of the "other- worldly" and one which has become increasingly well-respected over the years. The plot is a simple one: a church organist narrowly escapes drown-
ing in an auto accident, only to find herself in a strange limbo, pursued by an odd phantom-like character and plagued by a series of weird dreams (or are they?) in which her soul hov- ers between reality and the supernatural. Made on a very low budget and imbued with an atmosphere of pervasive melan- choly, this is probably the greatest film to ever come out of Lawrence, Kansas. (NOTE: Director George Romero credits this as having been his major inspiration for the original Night of The Living Dead. See it and find out why.) This film will be screened on DVD. (Bill Roth) Herk Harvey, US, 1962, NR, 83 min.
