My name is Jessica Nettles, and as an independent author, I appreciate excellent independent films. I recommend Carnival of Souls (1962), which is a very early indie film directed by Herk Harvey (his only directoral credit).  Yes, it’s black and white. Yes, it’s quiet, low-key horror that doesn’t move like the horror of today. But the weirdness, creepiness, and off-kilterness of the entire experience makes it work, even as jaded as we can be as viewers. Take a step back in time, slow down, and maybe even you can dance in the Carnival of Souls.
