Tonight we have a double feature, courtesy of the internet archive: "Carnival of Souls" and "Daughter of Horror". You can download these two movies and get the halloween fun started early. Daughter of Horror is notable for its score by George Antheil, a well-regarded American composer (though how he got this gig I can only wonder). Carnival of Souls was produced by Herk Hervey, a director of industrial films.
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Mary Henry is enjoying the day by riding around with two friends but everything goes wrong when challenged to a drag race and their car gets forced off of a bridge. The car sinks into the murky depths, and all three women are assumed drowned. Some time later Mary emerges unscathed from the river. She tries to start a new life by becoming a church organist but Mary finds herself haunted by a ghostly figure that instills fear and dread into her. (from Internet Archive)
IMDB listing
Daughter of Horror aka Dementia (1955)
As the narrator invites us to explore the horrors of an insane mind, a young woman wakes from a nightmare in a cheap hotel room. We follow her through the skid-row night and encounters with an abusive husband; a wino; a pimp and the rich man he panders for; a flashback to her traumatic childhood; violence; pursuit through dark streets; dementia. Filmed in film-noir style throughout; only the narrator speaks. (from IMDB)
