Short description
Mary Henry ends up the sole survivor of a fatal car accident through mysterious circumstances. Trying to put the incident behind her, she moves to Utah and takes a job as a church organist. But her fresh start is interrupted by visions of a fiendish man. As the visions begin to occur more frequently, Mary finds herself drawn to the deserted carnival on the outskirts of town. The strangely alluring carnival may hold the secret to her tragic past.

What's left behind the scenes

  • After watching this film, the agent of Candice Hilligoss, who played Mary, left her.
  • According to director Herk Harvey, a reel of footage in one box was accidentally ruined. It contained scenes right before Mary sees the dancing 'ghosts.' Unfortunately, the film was overexposed and became unusable.
  • Besides Herk Harvey himself, five other people worked on the film.
  • The damage to the bridge at the beginning of the film cost Herk Harvey $12. Only the railings needed to be replaced.
  • According to Candace Hilligoss, the water in the river from which her character was rescued in the finale was icy, and the shooting took several hours. One of the actresses lying next to Mary is visibly shivering.
