Description: Carnival of Souls (1962)
Lawrence filmmaker Herk Harvey made a low-budget horror classic that proved a major influence on "Night of the Living Dead" director George Romero -- and every gory zombie flick that followed. "Carnival of Souls" centered on a young organist (Candace Hilligoss) who survived a car crash, only to be plagued by visions of pale ghouls following her at all times. "The Sixth Sense" owes a great deal to this atmospheric film's trick ending.
The fantastic sticker price on this event is to benefit Watkins Museum, the keeper of Lawrence and Douglas Co. history, located at 11th and Mass.
John Clifford, writer of film, will speak at first showing
