I havent watched the whole film yet but the clips I've seen make you feel more immersed in the environment and makes it feel even more spookier IMO.2D23Dconversionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938253564426139073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723216439578019132.post-91544522918824056452010-07-31T01:27:07.055-04:002010-07-31T01:27:07.055-04:00Dave.....Thanks!

Was it the town that Carpenter focused on our the lighthouse?<br /><br />Oh and Reading Rainbow rocks! Hahaha. Thanks for checking out the blog.<br /><br />2D.... Interesting choice to convert Carnival of Souls to 3D. Wonder how it would change the feel of the film.Jay Shatzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365910606055581881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723216439578019132.post-46530947965152607162010-07-31T00:56:33.490-04:002010-07-31T00:56:33.490-04:00I'm glad I found this blog, great stuff!
Amaz...I'm glad I found this blog, great stuff!<br /><br />Amazing Carnival of Souls review! <br /><br />Interesting facts about the director Herk Harvey on IMDB. He saw the location which gave him the creeps. A couple of weeks later, he wrote a script around it. It took him 2 weeks to film it. Amazing! John Carpenter's "The Fog" happened much in the same way.<br /><br />I love the fact that the last credited directing job is a Reading Rainbow episode in 1983!<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of the brilliance of this film.Davehttp://davetruant.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723216439578019132.post-6438422474706937722010-07-30T19:38:26.737-04:002010-07-30T19:38:26.737-04:003D version coming soon....3D version coming soon....2D23Dconversionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938253564426139073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723216439578019132.post-48929463039174095842010-07-01T00:21:34.719-04:002010-07-01T00:21:34.719-04:00Thanks for checking out the review guys.

The atmosphere and creepy visuals, and the juxtaposition of a carnival as a cenotaph, touch on our most private fears, such as abandonment, loneliness and betrayal. It also looks so Gothic now in its glorious black-and-white photography, much the same as the original 'Night of the Living Dead.' Unforgettable, harrowing, this is a perfect example of psychological, not physical, horror. I consider this movie a must-see.Gregnoreply@blogger.com
