Carnival of Souls on YouTube

For those of you who missed Satruday's (March) KaCSFFS meeting, this month's program — the full length film "Carnival of Souls" (196s) — is available on YouTube, at the link below.

Sadly, however, you can't enjoy seeing it in 3D as we did at the meeting.


Comment from David Sooby (of the Laser Rangers film buff group):

I was surprised when Ruth Lichtwardt said this "cult" movie was not filmed in 3D.  Apparently the 3D version was computer generated.  However, the company which did the conversion (Eyepop-3D) did such a good job of it that I thought it had been filmed in 3D using stereo cameras!
