Candace Hilligoss (born August 14, 1935) is an American actress who gained fame for her role as Mary Henry in the independent horror film Carnival of Souls (1962).

Early life

The daughter of L.F. Hilligoss,[1] she was born Mary Candace Hilligoss[2] and raised in Huron, South Dakota, where she was active in school plays.[3]

After studying at Huron College[4] and the University of Iowa (where she acted in theatrical productions)[4] for three years,{{r|Weaver|page1=146}} she went to New York City to study acting with a scholarship[5] to the American Theatre Wing, studying under Sanford Meisner and Lee Strasberg.{{r|Weaver|page1=147}} She made her professional acting debut in summer stock in Pennsylvania.

Modeling

After college, Hilligoss attended the Barbizon Modeling and Acting School in New York. Following her graduation from there in 1956, she was one of five models who traveled to South America on a month-long tour to demonstrate then-new American fashions.[6]

Film career

She is best known for her portrayal of Mary Henry, a church organist haunted by specters, in Carnival of Souls (1962), a low-budget horror film that has developed a cult following.[7] She had been offered a role in the Richard Hilliard-directed horror film Psychomania (1963), but opted for the role in Carnival of Souls.{{r|Weaver|page1=146}} She stated that at the time, she took the role as a "take-the-money-and-run type of situation";{{r|Weaver|page1=147}} she was paid approximately $2,000 for her work in the film.{{r|Weaver|page1=152}}

She also appeared in a supporting role in the horror film The Curse of the Living Corpse (1964),{{r|Weaver|page1=156}} which was shot in Stamford, Connecticut, while Hilligoss was living in New York.{{r|Weaver|page1=152–53}} In 1997, she was asked to appear in the remake of Carnival of Souls, but declined.{{r|Weaver|page1=90}}
