About The Curse of the Living Corpse
The wealthy patriarch of the Sinclair family lives in mortal fear of being buried alive due to a rare condition that causes him to sometimes appear lifeless. After his death, relatives learn that his will stipulates a strict series of orders that must be followed in order to receive their inheritance. The family refuses to comply and the patriarch returns from the grave to exact revenge by killing each of them in the way they fear most.
Directed by Del Tenney, The Curse of the Living Corpse leans on a strong ensemble — Roy Scheider, Helen Warren, Robert Milli — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1964.
