""One of the most atmospherically eerie works of American horror cinema, Carnival of souls is a B-movie cult classic that continues to inspire directors today. Herk Harvey's macabre masterpiece is the story of a young woman who goes along for the ride when some small-town Kansas hot-rodders hold a drag race and are forced off a bridge, plunging into the flooded river below. The sole survivor of the accident, Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss), accepts a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City -- where she is repeatedly troubled by a bizarre apparition that beckons her to an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest budget, the film was intended to have the "look of a Bergman" and "feel of a Cocteau", and succeeds with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score."--Snagfilms.com"
"A young woman, drowned in a drag race accident, returns to become the church organist in a small Utah town. She is haunted by hallucinations and feels drawn to a derelict amusement park where she is escorted into a dance of the dead. This is a low budget original which portentiously combines a striking use of locations with 'a wierd flair sometimes suggesting a throwback to the silent days and drawing a kind of awkward honesty out of the amateurish actors' (The Encyclopedia of Horror Movies)."@en

""Horror! Romance! Spine-tingling suspense! Carnival of Souls will make you long to be watching a movie that contains any of these things! In fact, you'd probably settle for a movie with a discernable plot. ... [This film] is like putty in the hands of master riffers Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett of Rifftrax.com ...

""Mary Henry and two other young women are apparently drowned when their car is forced off the road during a drag race and plunges over a bridge. While searchers look for the car, Mary emerges alive from the water and, after being treated for injuries, leaves the area to pursue her career as an organist in a nearby state. As she drives to her new position, Mary passes a deserted carnival pavilion and sees a sinister figure looming in her path. Mary is haunted by the phantom figure, but she takes these apparitions as signs of shock from which she will soon recover. Although Mary tries to start a new life, the phantom periodically reappears, and she is strangely drawn to the carnival grounds. One day when Mary is shopping, the apparition overtakes her. A passing doctor sees that Mary is a victim of hysteria; he takes her to his office and listens to her strange story. One night while she is practicing on the church organ, the phantom again overtakes her. The minister hears the strange music Mary feels compelled to play, and he dismisses her. John Linden, a fellow boarder whom she had earlier scorned, makes advances to her in her room; she sees the phantom again, and her screams frighten Linden away. The next day Mary is drawn to the carnival grounds. There a 'carnival of dancing souls' reaches out for her, and she sees herself dancing with the phantom. Later, at the site of the accident, the submerged car is found with the bodies of all three women, including Mary's, in it"--AFI catalog, 1961-1970."
