The 1962 psychological horror film Carnival of Souls follows Mary Henry, a young woman who survives a car accident that sends her vehicle plunging into a river. Hoping for a fresh start, she moves to Salt Lake City to work as a church organist. Along the way, she becomes fascinated by an abandoned lakeside carnival pavilion and begins seeing a mysterious, pale-faced stranger who appears wherever she goes. As Mary struggles to adjust to her new surroundings, she experiences disturbing episodes in which people seem unable to see or hear her. Increasingly frightened, she investigates the deserted pavilion and its connection to her strange experiences.
