Marengo Killer B Kombo Meal-Carnival Of Souls & Dementia 13!, May 24, 2004
This review is from: Carnival of Souls / Dementia 13 (DVD)
Marengo Studios had good sense to put these two black and white films together. The transfer is excellent as they both are digitally remastered. Carnival Of Souls with Candace Hilligoss as church organist, Mary Henry, is a cult classic that was produced on a shoestring budget of $17,000.00 and was filmed in less than three weeks. Very creepy and nightmarish visuals with tons of suspension of disbelief scenes. Dementia 13 is Francis Ford Coppolla's directorial debut. A great suspense filled horror film with creepy scenes that will delight. Both of these films are highly recommended! Happy Watching and Unpleasant Dreams...

Double Feature Of Horror, March 20, 2002
This review is from: Carnival of Souls / Dementia 13 (DVD)
CARNIVAL OF SOULS & DEMENTIA 13 are two of the creepiest low budget movies in the 60s. Marengo films gave both of these movies a ggreat treatment by putting them together on one DVD. And the transfer was very good! CARNIVAL OF SOULS starring Candace Hilligoss is one of those genuinely creepy movies that send a chill down your spine. Effectively chilling despite its low budget. DEMENTIA 13 is Francis Ford Coppola's debut feature. He put together a very intense & engaging movie with a very respectable cast that gave very credible performances. The standout performance of this movie was the late Patrick Magee. It would have been interesting if someone like Vincent Price would have gotten Magee's role as Magee reminds me of Price in a lot of ways. Very graphic for its time, especially the ax decapitation murder, DEMENTIA 13 is a forgotten classic. Luana Anders & Mary Mitchel are very sexy in their respective roles, especially Mitchel in that scene in which she walked around in a see-through nightgown while wearing her bra and panties! A great buy! Two horror classics for the price of one.

Two Classic 60's Horror Films on 1 DVD!, December 30, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Carnival of Souls / Dementia 13 (DVD)
I remember seeing Carnival of Souls about 10 years ago at an old movie theatre, it was one of those midnight shows, and boy did the film creep me out! This DVD Double Feature released by Marengo Films, a Dallas, TX based classic & cult movie company is the un-cut version and is one of the best looking prints I have ever seen out there by a small home video company. Dementia 13 is also a great classic and looks and sounds fantastic!
