Just curious if there are any old movies dating from the 30's-60 like Carnival of Souls that deserve the same recognition. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Go for "Night Tide" starring Dennis Hopper. It shares many similar elements, both thematic and visual.

Freaks, The Haunting and Caligari were all well funded movies by famous directors. If you want ultra low budget with little known directors that manage to be worth watching then "Night Tide" is a good choice. Poetic with just the right amount of chill. Not many others like that in the US.
There were some quality low-budget British horror movies make in the 50s/60s.

Repulsion!
Check it out, the psychological horror in it is identical to Carnival.

THE UNINVITED (1944)
Much more romantic and professionally made, but still VERY CREEPY

"The Innocence" and "The Woman in Black" both have a similar creepmosphere.

Loved Carnival of Souls.
The Uninvited is another scary one, though in a different way.

I never noticed that, but now that you mention it. Repulsion is one of my favorite movies. I think that COS also had a big influence of George Romero.

"Horror Hotel" (1960)with Christopher Lee. Very atmosphericlike Carnival of Souls. And just as creepy. Another one, though not as good as COS is "I Bury the Living" (1958).

Try "The Seventh Victim" a Val Lewton-produced movie from the 40s. Very creepy and unsettling.
