The premature burial sequence in Serpent and the Rainbow freaks me out every time.
Val Lewton's Isle of the Dead has an incredibly chilling burial scene. Surprised this one didn't make the list in the poll. It's very harrowing.
In ages past they used to put a bell above the grave with a rope running down to the coffin so that anyone inadvertently buried alive can ring the bell to alert people. This is where the saying 'saved by the bell' comes from. Useless fact no. 1024563
