Things You Never Knew About CARNIVAL OF SOULS

Mr. Lobo,

I'm living in New Jersey home of Lucy the Elephant and Weird New Jersey Magazine. The two ladies in the photos are my wife and daughter : ) . We travel to California every now and then (planning a trip to Northern California and Lake Tahoe area possibly next summer). My brother in law lives in Los Angeles and I believe your in the San Francisco area.

Willing to travel.......................we could plan several segments with Bill Gates look alike and shoot him and Mr. Lobo in a one week period doing a number of odd skits.

Will travel for food and shelter. : )

I always thought you looked like Abraham Lincoln, Scott, but you said "images" where are the other pics of you. And yes, who are the babes?

Whoops! Wife and Daughter...well, this is awkward. Mr. Lobo is not a letch. Really!
Food and accomidations. Well we probably would get everything we need from you in a day or two, so that seems fair...Could you send me a DVD or VHS of your shtick?

Oh man...why does the Bill Gates look-alike get to be on your show and not me? I can fart on command and I'm overly sarcastic! What more could you ask for?

P.S. Don't forget to bring your wife and daughter.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

Okay, I finally watched the movie. I have to say I really liked the Jimi Hendrix number she did on the organ. Why didn't anyone mention the organ music and there seemed to be a lot of scene padding going on with all the driving. They did that a lot in the 60's when the script was thin.

I also noticed only one good quote in the movie. When the lecherous neighbor brings Mary coffee in the morning and happens to mention he doesn't wash the cups.

She says to him as he leaves, "Thanks very much for the coffee. It was unsanitary, but quite delicious."

I watched it tonight. Cheap but entertaining. The end where she was being chased had a creepy feel to it and although I had already figured it out early on, I think this is what saved the movie for me. The black and white film with the black and white make-up really played out well in the look of the dead that were dancing and then chasing her. I am annoyed though that nobody seemed to mention how much driving there was in this movie...it was almost as if the intention was to pad out a thin script like they often did in the 60's.

To be fair, there was a great deal of walking and running as well, but the movie would've gone on a lot longer if Mary had been forced to walk everywhere. The bad news is, the undead will be just as bad driving a car as they were in life... I wonder if they'll be talking on cellphones while reading a book and drinking coffee as well...

Own it -- Love it . . .
The ballet sequence of the dead dancers pursuing the girl through the abandoned lakeside amusement pier is one of the unique images in cinema --
I thought everyone knew Scott looked like Abe Lincoln -- That's why he went to ogle his own image at Mt. Rushmore!!
I know that's your "wife" and "daughter" (Who are you kidding? They both look way too young!), but then who's the guy in the white t-shirt with the glasses?

PS; Love the fossil bone shot!!

Isen't "Weird New Jersey" an oximoron?
New Jersey : where most of the suicides had "Help".
