Candice Hilligoss deserves an award for her great acting in this masterpiece.

A real gem. I never heard of Carnival of Souls before it was rereleased in the late 90's. I read a little article in a New York paper but otherwise I was going in totally blind. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was and once I got accustomed to the bizarre acting and awkward dialogue it took on a wonderful otherworldly quality. I don't know how this flew under my notice for so long. I've been watching horror movies since the early 70's and cannot recall even hearing the title. Better late than never.

The deserted amusement park is one of the greatest shooting locations ever put onto film. Genuinely eerie. Please watch in Black and White for the best experience.

What this movie suggests is that the recently dead can physically "re-manifest" in our world, while drifting in and out of it. You notice how she is physically present and able to be seen by living people, but then in a few scenes, she "fades" out where nobody can see or hear her. Paranormal researchers have heard about this phenomenon for centuries- that the other side can at least temporarily, appear in out world as a solid being. Whoever came up with this film had a deep, profound understanding of the paranormal, at a time when most people knew nothing about the subject.

I've seen this movie several times, but this is the first time it was colorized. Good movie.

I watch this movie every time youtube recommends another upload. I love it so much. It's honestly one of my favorite horror movies. If you haven't watched this movie, you have to give it a shot.

I'm not one for colorizing old b+w movies, but a nice job was done on this one.Thank you for posting

The colour added to this is amazing, it looks like a pastel sketch, so dreamy.

[jeffaltier]

This is one you need to watch in the original black and white to get the full essence of the movie.

[FumbleAIBO]

Not quite the full movie, this is one of the public domain prints that is missing a scene between 1:08:40 and 1:08:41 (she realizes the train conductor can hear her, he turns around and is a ghoul, she runs from the train station and stumbles into the street.)

What a great thought provoking movie. It is extremely low budget but the cinematography is well beyond itself, being the filmmaker made films for industry.

This movie is phenomenal and seeing it for the very first time and in color is very complimentary for the actress. She's very intriguing and easy to watch. 🥛🍪

[musicful]

She never escaped death.She was among those death souls and she just didn't want to accept that she's already dead. When someone dies tragically and unexpectedly, they don't know that they're dead and just couldn't accept it. Keep wandering around searching for own's soul and body.

I saw this a while ago. Another overlooked, creative film. Like Night Tide I just finished. I really liked this one too. Never seen Candace Hilligoss before, or since . . Such a dreamy, imaginative work.

[gracesusanotte]

Fabulous to screen in black and white or colorized! An all-time favorite! Such a sense of menace and foreboding.
Great scouting for location shots; organ factory and deserted resort. Lead actress very believable in great role!

[Desicoltrane]

Great job with Colorizing. Seeing it in it's Original Black and White gives it a more eerie vibe to it, though. Watch it both ways and you'll see. I first saw it with my Dad one Saturday afternoon. I was 4 years old. I found the VHS in an Italian Deli almost 20 years later, and my sister drove one hour to come over and make a cop6. It was the last one.
This movie is very deep, and unforgettable. The Ending...
It really makes sense about the Soul. And how the decisions are made is a mystery.
The Final Scene REALLY makes One think...and you won't forget it.
The Music... It's so beautiful and yet haunting. There's humor blended in, as well.
A Definite Cult Classic, like 'Horror Hotel's, with Christopher Lee, and the lovely Venetia Stevenson.
Candace, who Sttars in this movie, is still completely surprised this movie is still a Cult Classic.

I love this movie. Such a forgotten masterpiece, many times imitated.

[michellebradley-zj]

Contrary to those preferring B+W, I wouldnt have bothered if it werent colorized and Id have missed this gem. Thank you for putting in the color!

[timothypruitt]

I'd never have dreamed that this had been colourized! I've seen this movie many, many times over the years but never in colour before. This is really neat! Thanks so very much for sharing it with us.

This was cool 😎. I was born in “63. I remember everything being just like in the movie. The cars, the clothes, the way people treated each other. Very kind and respectful. Except those young men being pushy about asking you out all the time. Lol. I feel like I have lived in 2 different worlds. I like the modern things. Cell phones, hair styles, clothes, crypto, music. Especially music from the 70/80’s. It’s just a very unusual time to live, because we went from a rotary phone ( a party line ) to pagers in the 90’s to personal cell phones in the 2000’s. I can still remember my grandmother picking up the phone and telling the lady down the street miss margarita to let her make a call. She said that woman would stay on the line all day and talk. Lol. But just think about all the changes. Advancements like no other time in history. The Bible tells of a time when we will see major advancements in a short period of time. And we have. In some way I wish we could go back to the old ways. Pulling up at the gas station and the attendant running out to full up the tank and wash your windows- check the oil. And everything was so clean. Ladies wore nice clothes mostly dresses. You would never see a woman in line at the store with her pajama pants on, no ! Ladies had a nice blouse & skirt and would have a brooch on. When I turned 50 I started collecting brooches and I wear them. Life was different back then. Not always good. But most families stayed together with mom and dad and you set down to dinner together every night. We need more of that. Families being together. God bless everyone! Leslye
