Carnival of Souls (1962) 2 x DVD9 Criterion Collection [Theatrical Version and Extended Director’s Cut]

Candace Hilligloss plays the only survivor of a carload of girls that falls into a river after an ill-advised drag race. She seems unharmed, so she leaves town for a job in Utah as a church organist. She is tormented by visions of a ghoul played by director Harvey. Other things are wrong, too; while trying on a dress at a department store, she realizes that none of the other people in the store can hear her. This lasts for several moments as she flees the store for a park. She runs into a doctor (Sidney Berger), who is fascinated by her story, and offers to help as much as he can. But the visions come more and more frequently, and she finds herself drawn to a ghostly abandoned amusement park outside of town. She realizes that the ghoulish man wants to take her back to somewhere she doesn't want to go, but it's too late for her when she finally finds out where that is.
