Massive quasi Sumerian /Deco sets by Art Director Van Nest Polglase and set direction by Thomas Little. A stunning score by Max Steiner

 Costume Design by Aline Bernstein and Harold Miles

Randolph Scott  plays Leo Vincey  the descendant of his identical looking ancestor who claims to have visited an ancient lost land over 500 years ago, where exists the secret of immortality within the eternal flames of a mystic fire. Over seen by an immortal Queen called ‘She’ the entrancingly beautiful Helen Gahagan

Vincey sets out with family friend Horace Holly, the wonderful Nigel Bruce to discover this mysterious legend, taking along with him as well, the beautiful Tanya Dugmore (Helen Mack), a guide’s daughter.

They struggle through the frozen terrain of the Russian arctic, until they stumble upon Kor, the hidden civilization brutally reigned over by the vicious Queen She. Once She sets her sights on Leo, she believes that it is her beloved John Vincey, her long lost lover who left her behind 500 years ago!

“From H. Rider Haggard’s weird, wondrous story of the beautiful woman who bathed in flame and lived 500 years .. at last to find her first love at this very hour!”

Play Misty For Me 1971

Dave has a brief fling with a sexy fan who calls his radio program and asks him to “Play Misty For Me” Unfortunately this one night stand between savvy playboy disc jockey and an obsessed female fan turns into a nightmarish game of cat and mouse.

Spirally toward a deadly climax once another woman enters the picture.

The story is by Jo Heims, (You’ll Like My Mother 1972, Nightmare in Badham County 1976 and uncredited for Dirty Harry 1971)

Directed and starring that guy with the satin toned whispering voice, Clint Eastwood, as Dave, Jessica Walter as the psychotically iconic Evelyn Draper and Donna Mills as Dave’s love interest, Tobie.

Also starring John Larch as Sgt. McCallum.

Original soundtrack by Dee Barton and great use of Roberta Flack’s timeless song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Predating Adrian Lyne’s Fatal Attraction, Walter’s portrayal of an obsessive psychopath is absolutely stunning. Truly one of the most memorable thriller’s in film history!

“The scream you hear may be your own!”

“… an invitation to terror…”

The Film Score Freak recognizes Carnival of Souls 1962 and Jo Gabriel’s ‘Vacant Little Stare’

CARNIVAL OF SOULS 1962

Herk Harvey’s one film masterpiece of the macabre, starring Candace Hilligoss.

I’ve taken scenes from the film and edited them together with my song called Vacant Little Stare off the album Fools and Orphans.

This cult classic is so incredibly atmospheric and the imagery so unique for it’s day, that I couldn’t resist melding it together with my song, of alienation, loneliness and madness, which compliment Mary Henry’s persona very well I think! Enjoy!-Joey
