* Happens to Eric Draven in ''Film/TheCrow'' when the title bird resurrects him.

** In ComicBook/Supergirl1982'' issue #20, Supergirl has to do this after Parasite seals her in a flying metal coffin.

** Superman did this in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #469 after having apparently been killed (and insta-buried) by Terra-Man. Since he retained his powers, it was not a very surprising feat. The twist set up by the villain was that he came back looking like Terra-Man, leading him to be hunted by other superheroes [[MistakenForOwnMurderer for obvious reasons]].

** This is, in fact, not uncommon in EC comics and other pre-MediaNotes/ComicsCode horror comics.

* In ''ComicBook/PowerGirl2009'' issue #10, Ultra-Humanite makes use of Terra's geokinesis to bury Karen alive. She only needs a few seconds to escape. Justified because she's a Kryptonian, ergo she is super-strong and she doesn't need to breathe.

** ''ComicBook/WayOfTheWorld'': The Girl of Steel is seen rising from her grave in ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 the first issue's cover]]''. Shortly later, she has a nightmare where she's been buried alive and has to dig her way out of her grave.
** And in ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1982 Supergirl Vol. 2]]'' issue #20, Supergirl has to do this after Parasite seals her in a flying metal coffin.
* Franchise/{{Superman}} did this in one story after having apparently been killed (and insta-buried) by Terra-Man. Since he retained his powers, it was not a very surprising feat. The twist set up by the villain was that he came back looking like Terra-Man, leading him to be hunted by other superheroes [[MistakenForOwnMurderer for obvious reasons]].
* ''ComicBook/SupermansPalJimmyOlsen2019'': While Jimmy's funeral is in progress, a hand claws its way up from the grave. [[spoiler: It turns out to be Dr. Mantel, who emerged from Ultraspace in that location thanks to tethering himself to Jimmy's signal watch (which Jimmy threw into the grave so he wouldn't be tempted to use it).]]
* This happens with many of the dead mutants resurrected by Selene during "Necrosha" in ''Comicbook/XForce''. For the most part she didn't even bother having them dug up; she just let them claw their way out of their graves on their own.

** This is, in fact, not uncommon in EC comics and other pre-UsefulNotes/ComicsCode horror comics.

* The {{Trope Namer|s}} by way of MemeticMutation, the old Sega arcade stand and cartridge ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast'' has the player character being reanimated while Zeus appears in the sky with a crystal ball saying, "I command you to rise from your grave and rescue my daughter." Lightning then strikes your headstone, and your character pops out of the ground ready to brawl. The "Rise from your grave" portion of Zeus's message is said in audio, and the sound compression in the Genesis/Mega Drive version leads to a {{Narm}}y ElmuhFuddSyndwome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hihEhsdwiIk "Wise fwom youw gwave!"]]

* In ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' (Volume 2) issue #10, Ultra-Humanite makes use of Terra's geokinesis to bury Karen alive. She only needs a few seconds to escape. Justified because she's a Kryptonian, ergo she is super-strong and she doesn't need to breathe.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'', "ComicBook/KravensLastHunt": Kraven drugs Spider-Man, buries him alive, then puts on the spider costume and starts trying to ''be'' Spidey as part of his attempts to prove his total superiority.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' parodied this, with Mayor Adam West cementing over every grave in the cemetery... "You'll thank me when no one eats your brain. You'll thank me."
* The zombies in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' Halloween episode "Dial Z for Zombie" do this.
