Watch free: full movie Carnival of Souls 1962

After surviving a car that plunges off a bridge, a church organist moves to a new town in Utah and finds she can't fit back into ordinary life. A pale, grinning man keeps appearing to her, and an abandoned lakeside pavilion seems to be calling her back. Made by an industrial-film director from Kansas with a few thousand dollars, it plays more like a bad dream than a monster movie: long silences, an eerie organ score and faces that look subtly wrong. It flopped on release, then became a cult favourite that directors still name as an influence on everything from Night of the Living Dead to modern indie horror.

Watch it if you like slow, dreamlike horror over jump scares, or you're a fan of The Twilight Zone.
