Virtually unknown director, Herk Harvey, spent his career making a wide array of short films. He crafted so many short films, in fact, that of all his movies, only one was of full length run time. That glorious film is called Carnival of Souls. It's very low budget and it shows but that somehow adds to creepy effect. This is a great one.
After a traumatic car accident, in which she is the sole survivor, Mary decides to pack up and move to a new town to start over. Once she arrives, she starts seeing a very strange, ghoulish looking man everywhere. She finds she is drawn to an abandoned carnival and things just get stranger and stranger. The end is one of the best twists ever recorded.
Think of this film as a full length episode of The Twilight Zone. It's bizarre, scary and awesome. Just be careful, it might suck you in!
10/10 Jack O'lanterns
