| Pivotal Wake-up | comment |
The Pivotal Wake-up is a classic move in the repertoire of old-school vampires and mummies. Once the sun dips below the horizon, the vampire's eyes will open, the coffin lid will fly open on its own, and the occupant will levitate into a standing position while pivoting on their feet, as if they were a fulcrum. Needless to say, this move is so old school it may be a Dead Horse Trope. However, it still occasionally sees use even outside the vampire community. Comedies seem to like to use it to demonstrate just how strange or freaky some characters are by, say, rising this way on the mention of their favorite food or after being punched in the face. Usually requires that Vampires Sleep in Coffins, though it may be Played for Laughs by having a vampire rise up out of bed in a similar manner. Compare Catapult Nightmare, the Muggle equivalent. |

Rare heroic, non-vampiric example: when a party member is revived with a Zing or Kazing spell in Dragon Quest VIII, they levitate to a standing position in this manner, head and limbs hanging limp until they are almost completely upright, before opening their eyes and assuming their normal battle posture. | |

Angelus pulled this trick on Angel. Seeing as it's a spinoff of Buffy, which debuted six years earlier, it's remarkable that they resisted this trope for as long as they did. (The weirdness of this trope is actually invoked to remind the viewer that this is a weird, dream-walky place, right before Faith and Angelus start interacting with the memory-dream-projection-Angel.) | |

Johannes Cabal: Lampshaded by Horst the vampire in The Brothers Cabal. He has no idea how he can spring upwards "as if his feet were attached to some ghastly hinge" but is glad to have the trick, since it would be quite awkward to clamber out of a coffin on a bier otherwise. | |

In Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the first time Tommy returned, he used his temporary powers to get back the other Rangers' Power Coins (their power source) and was near death from the strain on his body (and having the tar beaten out of him while only at partial power.) Later, Power Coin energy surrounds him as he rises into the air and pivots to a standing position, and only once standing does he awaken. Turns out he'd absorbed enough power from the force field around the coins to rejoin the team for good (with plenty of scares that the temporary powers may yet give out.) | |

Dragon Ball Z - during the "warm-up" phase of Goku and Cell's fight, Goku knocks Cell over the edge of the arena. The (in-series) audience hopes for a ring-out, only for Cell to remind them all that he can fly by freezing and performing this trope in midair. | |

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack Skellington emerges from a coffin like this while dressed as Santa Claus. (Of note, he does it while facing down, which is unusual.) | |
