'Carnival' back to haunt Lawrence
By Tracl Carl
Special to the Kansan
Harold Harvey was working for Lawrence's Centron Films when he discovered the abandoned Salt Air Amusement Park in Salt Lake City and decided it would be a great spot to shoot a horror movie.
"Carnival of Souls," the result of his vision, was created in 1961 and released for a short time as a drive-in double feature.
John Clifford, "Carnival" screenwriter. agreed.
Harvey, "Carnival" director, said that during the past 30 years the film has acquired a following by being shown on late night TV and in arthouses throughout Europe.
It had a life of it's own on late night TV, he said. "It's not what you'll call a big money making movie. It became what they call a cult classic."
"Carnival," which was shot in Lawrence and Salt Lake City, will
return to haunt Lawrence at 7 tonight and tomorrow in Woodruff Auditorium. Clifford and Harvey will make a brief speech before tomorrow's screening and will appear at a reception after the screening, said Ted Trost. Spectrum Films coordinator
Trost said he stumbled across the film in a catalog and decided to show a screening of it for Halloween. Trost said that he thought it was a great piece of Lawrence history and that he was impressed with the film's visual imagery.
Clifford said that his idea of the dead chasing the living was new and that it influenced George Romero's film "Night of the Living Dead." Harvey said that he thought the idea of someone refusing to die was something many people can relate to.
"It doesn't really have a structured story line," Trost said. "It just sort of floats along in this eerie way, with a sort of languid feel throughout the film."
"A lot of people consider themselves outside of life," Harvey said. "Today, apparently, that finding still exists because people still identify with it."
The film's plot revolves around a church organist, played by Candace Hilligoss, who begins to frequent the amusement park after surviving a car accident affects her sense of reality. Aghou, played by Harvey, constantly chases her in the film.
Clifford said he thought the biggest accomplishment in making "Carnival" was succeeding as an independent filmmaker, something that was rarely done.
"Its place in history is more of an inspiration to independent filmmakers," he said.
Clifford said he chose to make the main character an organist because he always had been fascinated with a room in the Reuter Pipe Organ Co., 612 New Hampshire St., where pipe organs were made and tested. He said
that because the film had a small budget of $30,000, he and Harvey filmed on unique locations that did not cost much.
"If people want to come see it, what they are going to see is a film on a low budget with a lot of imagination," Clifford said.
Clifford said he intended "Carnival" he released in art-houses.
The same distributor kept all the profits from the film, leaving Harvey, Clifford and the actors unpaid, Harvey said. He said that he thought the distributor who recently bought the film would do the same thing again.
"At the time we wrote it, art-houses were in fashion, and I thought it would play that circuit," he said. "The distributor we gave it to didn't have the sense to run it in art-houses."
"It's basically a license to steal because they can add so many things to the cost you never see the money," Harvey said.
