Chicken soup for the Carnival of Souls
Two uberfans of the 1962 classic filmed mostly in Lawrence share their love...
In 1962, Herk Harvey unveiled his first and only feature film: "Carnival of Souls," a creepy drive-in classic that was filmed almost entirely in Lawrence. The movie centers on a young organist (Candace Hilligoss) who survived a car crash, only to be plagued by constant visions of pale ghouls following her. The little-known movie proved a major influence on "Night of the Living Dead" director George Romero and on every zombie flick that followed, including blockbusters like "The Sixth Sense."
