Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Premature Burial is a 1962 horror film distributed by American International Pictures and directed by Roger Corman, starring Ray Milland, Hazel Court, Richard Ney, and Heather Angel, loosely based upon the short story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe.Set in the Victorian era, British aristocrat Guy Carrell (Milland) has an obsessive fear of being buried alive so consuming that it prevents him from marrying his fiancée Emily Gault (Court). The reason behind it is because he, like his father, suffers from a cataleptic illness that mimics the appearance of being dead. As time goes on, strange and disturbing occurrences happen that threaten to send Guy into the very state he fears, dreading the idea of suffering the same fate as his late father.The third of the informally dubbed "Poe Cycle" films, this movie was released after the success of his previous films "House of Usher" and "The Pit and the Pendulum".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Crazy-Prepared: Guy Carrell is terrified of being buried alive and takes lots of steps to counter this. He wants to be entombed above ground and builds a special coffin that will open if there is any movement from inside. He installs a bell to ring for help and a rope ladder and skylight to escape from the mausoleum. His mausoleum also contains dynamite to blow open the door in case the bell and ladder fail and (should all of that fail) poison to commit suicide with. His wife urges him to destroy the mausoleum, saying it fuels his morbid obsession with being buried alive and harms his mental health. | |

And I Must Scream: Throughout the funeral, Guy's thoughts can be heard by the audience as he realizes what's happening to him but can't do anything to speak up. | |

Buried Alive: What Guy claimed befell his father years ago. This actually happens to Guy himself after having a cataleptic fit, which led him to insanity. He buries Emily alive in retribution for taking advantage of him and plotting to get rid of him. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: It's a wonder how Miles managed to get a lot of the dirt off Emily's body and clothes. | |
