Of all characters, this couple really creeps me out! She's not a pig, according to his friend, but is a mouse as far as he is concerned. He's a weasel jerk, but she only wants to be with him! They're both nuts, so I guess they just deserve each other, and we deserve to hear the cool sleaze on the jukebox by Gene Moore & just wait til they go up to the room. Candace Hilligoss is terrifically icky as Mary Henry. Sidney Berger who plays loser John Linden, was only in 2 movies, this one & another movie by Wes Craven made in 1988, called, you guessed it, "Carnival Of Souls," & went on to be the head of the Drama Department at the University Of Houston!
Carnival Of Souls
My favorite memory of Candace Hilligloss was when she asked the audience at a horror convention if anyone was interested in remaking CARNIVAL OF SOULS starring her, for the princely sum of $1 million dollars. Wes Craven did an in-name version of the film, and Hilligloss denounced Craven as a "bad artist!"
