Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest budget, the eerily effective B-movie classic Carnival of Souls arrives on DVD on 23rd October and we have a copy up for grabs.
A young woman in a small Kansas town survives a drag race accident, then agrees to take a job as church organist in Salt Lake City. En route, she becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her toward an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Carnival of Souls was intended to have "the look of a Bergman and the feel of a Cocteau" – and, with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score, it succeeds. Herk Harvey’s macabre masterpiece gained a cult following through late-night television and continues to inspire filmmakers today.
To be in with a chance of winning this prize just answer the following question:
What type of entertainment would you usually associate with a carnival?
A. A ferris wheel
B. Ten Pin bowling
C. Hang-gliding
