Carnival of Souls – SSP069

Carnival of Souls

Karen found “Carnival of Souls” from 1962 while surfing the Internet and discovered that this film influenced a lot of talented directors. For that reason she though we should have it in our library of watched films. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while they enjoy a Car Crash Cocktail. The recipe that Karen found on cocktailbuilder.com is below.
