This is one of my favorite horror films. The people who made this flick know what s going on. A horror film is like a recipe. You have to have to proper ingredients, put together in the proper order, or you ll end up with crap. After Mary survives the crash, she takes a job as a church organist, and meets John Linden at a boarding house.
Carnival of Souls starts off simply enough.
A group of kids indulge in some innocent drag-racing and one of them goes off a bridge. The only survivor is a young woman named Mary Henry. She crawls out of the water while her other two girlfriends remain trapped in the car which becomes stuck at the bottom of the river. Eager to pick up her life she takes a job as a church organist in another town. As she drives toward her new life she starts to hear haunting music and see strange men with pale skin and dark eyes.
