Luka and Skullard have earned a full week away from toil at the button factory, and now they shall fill their days with play and relaxation.  <em>Or will they?<\/em>  Perhaps instead of jovial trips to the zoo, they will battle their animal-like neighbors for hallway domination.  The plan is to take a drive to the Mall of America, but perhaps they&#8217;ll end up at the Canadian border fending off an incursion of rabid nutria.  They&#8217;re hoping to catch a matinee of The Avengers, but who knows?  Perhaps it is you, dear listener, who will be the one to avenge L&#038;S after they are unjustly accused of grand larceny, criminal malfeasance, and reckless endangerment of a minor (long story . . . the kid had it coming).  The simple truth is, anything could happen during this intended week of leisure to turn it into a flaming week of doom.  We don&#8217;t expect flaming doom; we plan on fuzzy kittens, cupcakes, joyful singing and balloons!  What Could Go Wrong?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carnival of Souls<\/strong> is a 1962 horror classic.  &#8220;Classic&#8221; in the sense that it&#8217;s old and a lot have people have seen it, like Skullard&#8217;s grandmother&#8217;s tits are &#8220;classic&#8221;.  That doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you&#8217;re going to run out and recommend either to your friends.  <em>Luka&#8217;s Bad Movie Review<\/em> gives this film two ratings: if it&#8217;s a horror film, it&#8217;s a<em> Lousy Unintentionally Bad Movie<\/em>; if it&#8217;s an art film, it&#8217;s a <em>Pretty Good Unintentionally Bad Movie<\/em>.  So how good it is depends on your intentions in watching, which can be said for Skullard&#8217;s grandmother as well.  Skullard&#8217;s grandmother is not the lead actress in this movie, but if she was, you might care more about the story.  This lady walks away from a car wreck and begins seeing apparitions.  She also plays the pipe organ a lot.  You can decide which prospect is scarier.  She also becomes fixated on an abandoned dance hall, perhaps because just before the car she was in plummeted from the bridge into the muddy river water below, the Kinks &#8220;Come Dancing&#8221; was playing on the radio.  Sadly, <strong>Carnival of Souls <\/strong>isn&#8217;t the kind of carnival where you can find over-priced food booths or rigged midway games, but you do end up coming away from this film feeling ripped off.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ah, yes. Canival of Souls! It may sound like a rip-roaring metaphysical ride on the midway, but alas. It&#8217;s really not. On the plus side, though, it doesn&#8217;t contain a couple of thrilling scenes.<br \/>\nSuch as when Mary and her friends drag race. Wow!
