Trivia:
According to director Herk Harvey one reel of footage for the film was unfortunately ruined during processing. Harvey said it was a long series of shots that was suppose to take place just before Mary sees the 'souls' dancing in the ballroom. In the shots the ghouls were suppose to slowly appear from behind the rotting dock pylons out on the salt flats and slowly walk across the prairie to the ballroom, where they would begin to dance. Sadly the footage was overexposed during the processing and was lost from the film.

While driving her car with two girlfriends, the driver is challenge to a drag race and falls off a bridge over a river. When it seems that the girls have drowned and there are no survivors, Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) surprisingly leaves the water. A couple of days later, she drives to another town to work as organist in a church despite not being religious. While driving, she has visions of weird people. When she arrives, she moves to a room in the pension owned by Mrs. Thomas (Frances Feist). However Mary is haunted by spirits and is frequently drawn to a nearby abandoned carnival, where she discloses a dark secret.
"Carnival of Souls" is a sort of episode of "Twilight Zone", with an intriguing tale of a woman that survives a tragic accident and is haunted by souls, trapped between the world of the living and the dead. The use of shadows and the make-up are really scary and the creepy story works well but could be a little shorter; furthermore the conclusion is predictable. . My vote is six.
