Comments: The film opens with a body being exhumed. The deceased man had been accidently buried alive! This vision haunts one member of the group, and he develops the fear of being buried alive himself. He tries to break off his coming marriage and then builds a special crypt from which he can escape if he's buried alive.

This Edgar Allan Poe story is brought to the screen by Roger Corman. It's fairly exciting. The acting is very good.
