Carnival of Souls (1962): Watch Old School Horror classic here!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

One of the most popular public domain horror movies, ranking up there with George A. Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead, is director Herk Harvey's 1962 film Carnival of Souls – and that's the one we're featuring in the latest installment of the Old School Horror series on our JoBlo Horror Videos YouTube channel, where we showcase older horror films in their entirety. 

Written by John Clifford, Carnival of Souls has the following synopsis: 

Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) ends up the sole survivor of a fatal car accident through mysterious circumstances. Trying to put the incident behind her, she moves to Utah and takes a job as a church organist. But her fresh start is interrupted by visions of a fiendish man (Herk Harvey). As the visions begin to occur more frequently, Mary finds herself drawn to the deserted carnival on the outskirts of town. The strangely alluring carnival may hold the secret to her tragic past.
