After becoming the sole survivor of an accident that occurred during a drag race, a young woman named Mary accepts a job in a new town as a church organist. But once there, she is repeatedly troubled by visions of a nearby abandoned carnival and a smiling white-faced man with dark-rimmed eyes. One of the most atmospherically eerie works of American horror cinema, this film garnered a significant cult following years after being released in 1962 and is an essential title for every horror collection.
