Carnival of Souls is one of the cheesiest movies in the history of film. Written in 1962 by Herk Harvey and John Clifford over the coarse of 2 weeks, the film was filmed in Lawrence, Kansas and Salt Lake City, Utah. Candace Hilligoss plays the main character, who is in fact dead from the very beginning, like Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. The film had a crew of 5, and filmed with a budget of $30,000, but only used $17,000.
Really, this movie is very cheesy, which is part of it's appeal. There's no real explanation for how she comes back from the dead, or why the dead people are chasing her. The only movies I can think of that are cheesier than this are Manos: The Hands of Fate, and Plan 9 From Outer Space. If Herk Harvey and Ed Wood got together for a movie, they would destroy the world with the sheer amount of cheese it would produce.
