Plot (3-riffer version)
Most carnival going experiences follow roughly the same pattern: some trouble-maker suggests it and, due to alcohol use or lack of personal will power, you ignore the alarm claxon blaring in your head and hop in the car. Six hours later you stumble through the exit smelling of sweat, rancid corn dog oil, cigarette smoke and vomit, roach clips in your hair, breathing in the mercury-laden fumes of a huge Chinese-made stuffed giraffe and praying for your own death. The Carnival of Souls is a lot like that, only with the addition of organ music!

Yes, this is Herk "Shake Hands with Danger" Harvey's timeless classic about a mouth breathing church organist who drives to Utah in order to have coffee with a greasy warehouse worker. Mike, Bill and Kevin load into the car, their pockets jingling with fresh souls and spend a few hours at the Carnival!


Plot (Live version)
Rifftrax Live: Carnival of Souls! Mike, Bill, and Kevin riffed this spooky midnight-movie cult classic live in Nashville, and now it's available for you to download or stream in Anywhere-Ville!

When young Mary survives a horrible car crash, she tries to start her life over with a new church organist job in a small Utah town, as one does. But along the way she’s haunted by a gaunt pale figure in a nice suit who leads her to an abandoned old pavilion on the shores of the Great Salt Lake. Soon Mary doesn’t know if she’s awake or dreaming, alive or dead, which makes her really dull at parties. Fans of Rifftrax Live: Night of the Living Dead will love this one. Weird, creepy and very silly, our live riff of Carnival of Souls is not to be missed!


Encoding info
Encoded by budgetbits from BluRay remux (Carnival of Souls 1962 Criterion Collection 1080p Blu-ray Remux AVC DTS-HD MA 1.0 - KRaLiMaRKo) with HandBrake 1.3.2, slower preset, x265, 720p, 10 bit, crf 25, aq-mode 1, sao/strong-intra-smoothing/rect disabled.

Riffs originally synced by herod, who wrote:

"They did all of these for the longer original cut, not the theatrical cut which is a few minutes shorter. The only problem I have with that is the longer cut isn't available in HD.

"There's a few extra scenes, but a lot of scenes are different by just a few seconds, so it turned out I had to do way more editing than I expected on each track but I think they're all pretty synced up. Nothing from Mike was actually lost in the solo track, and only a few bits were lost in the other two but they were expendable little comments in my opinion. None of the good stuff."

Further microedits by budgetbits throughout the 3-riffer and live tracks brought them better into sync with this Criterion movie source.
