On the Coffee with Jeff Podcast episode 221, I tell the take of Herk Harvey and the Making of Carnival Of Souls (1962). It began when Herk Harvey saw a strange sight in Salt Lake City. It inspired him and writer John Clifford to make a film for the very low price of around $30,000.

The black and white feature, starring Candace Hilligoss was mostly filmed in Lawrence, Kansas with a little more in Utah. After being ripped off by a distribution company, the film fell into obscurity only to become a cult classic in the late 1980s. Listen to the show to find out more!
