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...

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.

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!

If you want to add two of the most famous classic horror films to your library I recommend this DVD.

Carnival of Souls is absolutely haunting and totally creepy. It is amazing how much better this film is than many of the slasher films put out today.

Dementia 13 is the perfect marriage for Carnival. It too has a haunting story with a creepy atmosphere. While no Godfather it is certainly a CLASSIC.

Both prints are very nice and the studio has done a great job here in the marrage of the two films.

I saw this on vhs about ten years ago (by accident) and never forgot it. I have recommended it many times. It is a very good story and gave me the willys because it somehow felt real. We have all gone to a place sometime in our life, that just seemed too creepy for some unknown reason.

I really ordered this dvd for Dementia 13. Carnival of Souls is ok, but not great. Dementia 13 on the other hand still packs a punch. It's pretty creepy and would be a great to watch on Halloween night.

T.A. HANSON must work for Platinum Disk... Craig Cosgray, President - Marengo Films. WE WORK HARD AT PROVIDING QUALITY FILMS... THIS IS A BARGAIN AND A FINE ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.

I buy many DVD's form these smaller companies(Marengo, VCI, Roan and Platinum disc). I was satisfied with the transfers on this Marengo disc when I had nothing to comapare it to, but Platium Disc has much better transfers of both these movies. With Platium Disc you have to buy two DVD's. On one you get a great transfer of Carnival(plus 3 other movies). On the other you get a good transfer of Dementia(plus 3 other movies). You even save about three dollars.
