‘Carnival of Souls’ is Getting a Criterion Blu-ray Release!
Carnival of Souls getting a Blu-ray release from Criterion isn’t really news. This has been known for a while, but we now know the details of that release and man do they sure look good! The film will be available on July 12 on Blu-ray and 2-disc DVD and in what should come as no surprise, it’s going to be loaded! There’s an interview with Dana Gould! Dana freakin’ Gould! How cool is that?!
Check out the full details below!
Synopsis:
A young woman in a small Kansas town survives a drag race accident, then agrees to take a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City. En route, she becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her toward an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest budget, the eerily effective B-movie classic Carnival of Souls was intended to have “the look of a Bergman and the feel of a Cocteau”—and, with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score, it succeeds. Herk Harvey’s macabre masterpiece gained a cult following on late-night television and continues to inspire filmmakers today.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES
