Personal Quote:

[about his days at Centron] I took a vacation and shot Carnival of Souls in two weeks. I've been to festivals and people always ask, "How come you made only one film?", and I say, "Hell, I've made over 400". See more »

Trivia:

Conceived the plot of Carnival of Souls after seeing the abandoned Saltaire pavilion / amusement park located in Utah, and coincidentally the site became the setting for the film itself. See more »
