While now considered a classic, Carnival of Souls hasnt aged, like, great, you know? Its a great time capsule of the early 1960s, when women werent people and men could sexually harass women freely. So glad we got over that. Parts of the film are, in this modern day and age, going to be either uncomfortable for some viewers, or unintentionally funny to others. Old time periods are weird, man. The audio syncing in the film was never perfect to begin with, so we get lots of mouths moving with no words, or no mouths moving with words. Are we gonna get more mouths moving with no words? asks Corbett after the umpteenth time that had occurred. But not to worry; the jokes were a mile a minute, with very little dead air. Any dead air was for the guys to breathe, or to let some of the wacky, bad acting happen before us in stunned glory. It was a great balance of the trios jokes along side 1960s-filmmaking-and-budgetary-limitations-based comedy.
