“When we realized that the creators of the safety short Shake
Hands with Danger
had done a spooky feature film we knew we had to
have it. How can you pass up the story of a church organist who moves to
Utah – on purpose, mind you – only to get fired from her church organist
position? It’s bone chilling. And a perfect RiffTrax for Halloween!”
Michael J. Nelson of RiffTrax said.

When young Mary survives a horrible car crash in Kansas, she tries to
start her life over with a new job in a small Utah town. Along the way,
she’s haunted by a gaunt, pale figure in a nice suit who leads her to an
abandoned carnival pavilion on the shores of the Great Salt Lake. Soon,
Mary doesn’t know if she’s awake or dreaming, alive or dead. Weird,
creepy and very silly, Carnival of Souls, as riffed by the
RiffTrax crew, is the perfect Halloween treat.

“The RiffTrax Live series has been on a roll in 2016,” Fathom Events CEO
John Rubey said. “Fans are clamoring for this week’s ‘Mothra’ event and
we can’t wait to see the response to Carnival of Souls!”

“RiffTrax Live: Carnival of Souls” is the 22nd RiffTrax
title for Fathom Events since the 2009 start of the companies’
partnership. Some of the most popular titles in the RiffTrax Live lineup
include “Starship Troopers,” “Manos: The Hands of Fate,” “Night of the
Living Dead,” and the “MST3K Reunion Show.”

***Editor Note: Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett will be
available for select interviews.
