Bobby Beausoleil ‎– Lucifer Rising Sessions (Qbico, Italy 2005) vs Jimmy Page – Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising (Private Press, US 198?) – Odd compare & contrast… one is on-line… the other not… one is signed… other not… Kenneth signature… hard to score…

C is for ‘Carnival of Souls’ in my #folkhorroralphabet released in 1962 and directed by Herk Harvey. It’s a low budget cult classic, unsettling period Americana that inspired directors like David Lynch and George Romero.
