History Main / CreepyCemetery

* ''Literature/JohannesCabalTheNecromancer'' Johannes Cabal may or may not have accidentally locked his brother in a particularly disturbed crypt in a possibly haunted cemetary.

** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E72TheGrave The Grave]]": The scary part of the episode takes place in a cemetery.
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E152MrGarrityAndTheGraves Mr. Garrity and the Graves]]": The end has resurrected townsfolk rising from their graves on Boot Hill.

* The first urban Circle of Hell in ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' is a cemetery filled with fiery tombs that hold arch-heretics and their followers. The tombs are destined to remain open until the Last Judgement, allowing the rare passerby to hear the "sorry cries" the heretics create for the rest of the eternal life many of them denied.

* ''Film/ReturnOfTheVampire'': Dr. Tesla's initial hiding place is a decrepit, fog-covered graveyard outside of London. When he is revived, he moves to an abandoned church.

* An episode of ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' takes place in a local cementery handled by the family of a boy in Doremi and Co's class, where the kids perform their {{Kimodameshi}}. It's not ''that'' creepy at first sight, but Hazuki (who really ''hates'' the supernatural) begs to disagree and [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes her terror]] is PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler:It turns out to have a ghost... who happens to be that of the late local Buddhisst priest and the grandfather of the girls' classmate; his grandson [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye wasn't there when he passed away]] and he wants to see the kid one last time...]]

* The cast of ''Film/DeathScreams'' decide to head for a cemetery for the best atmosphere to tell [[GhostStory scary stories]] to each other.
* In ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', this is where Lori ends up in her first nightmare and finds the spectres of Freddy's child victims playing and singing his warning rhyme.

* Nothing frightening happens in the pet cemetery that is the focus of documentary ''Film/GatesOfHeaven''. But it's still vaguely unsettling to see shot after shot of pet headstones, as well as statuary of fake deer and swans and the like, as well as an abandoned outdoor chapel.

* The opening scene (and first zombie attack) in ''Film/{{Night of the Living Dead|1968}}'' takes place in one of these. Subverted somewhat in that a.) it all happens in [[DaylightHorror broad daylight]] and b.) we never actually see said zombie emerge from a grave. Or ''any'' zombie, for that matter, since it's eventually established that only the recent, unburied dead are re-animating.

* Attempted in ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'', although it's actually a [[SoBadItsGood laughably bad]] set.
* The punks in ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'' use a cemetery as their stomping ground. This is a bad idea.

* Dr. Tesla's initial hiding place in ''Film/ReturnOfTheVampire'' is a decrepit, fog-covered graveyard outside of London. When he is revived, he moves to an abandoned church.

* In the first ''Literature/LoneWolf'' book, ''Flight from the Dark'', the Graveyard of the Ancients near Holmgrad is a gloomy, forbidden place. It is always shrouded in mist and cloud blocking the sun, the place is unnaturally chilly, covered in thorny graveweeds, with foul gases seeping from the open crypts and distant whispering echoing into the ears of anyone foolish enough to venture there. Worse, its underground necropolis hosts evil forces, dangerous traps and magical guardians.
