ever notice how scary movies just aren’t
complete unless there’s at least one
scene that takes place in a cemetery
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
spooky movie graveyards looked a bunch
of people in the cemetery who stark
staring mad and it’ll kill you in each
of the catch it’s like you’re diseases
like rabies only faster it’s a lot
faster that’s why you got to come in
here right now get us the hell out of
here right now
for this list we’re choosing the most
memorable and creepy graveyards or
cemeteries depicted on the big screen
cut the bandages number 10 Night of the
Living Dead back having to get you
Barbara it’s just never a good sign when
a movie starts out in a graveyard you
know I figure we’re either gonna have to
move mother out here or move the grave
into Pittsburgh and if the person you’re
with in the graveyard makes tasteless
jokes the consequences can be deadly one
of the residents might get angry and
take offense the fact that the cemetery
scenes in this classic zombie flick were
filmed in a real Pittsburgh area
graveyard enhances the scare factor even
further
[Music]
number nine plan 9 from outer space
those incidents in the grave are these
past few days just got me we’re
combining an unusual mixture of aliens
flying saucers ray guns as well as
zombies rising from the earth in a dark
foggy graveyard this campy classic is
equal parts horror film and
science-fiction flick
[Music]
there’s also some cold war-era paranoia
and government intrigue thrown in for
extra fun you realize there’s a
government directive stating that there
is no such thing as a flying saucer in
addition to its ghoulish graveyard the
film boasts the talents of Bela Lugosi
one of the early masters of the horror
genre but from the blast arose the
moving figure of the dead old man number
8 cemetery man
[Music]
aside from tasteless jokes another
activity not recommended in a cemetery
is sex particularly when the object of
one’s affections happens to be the widow
of someone recently buried in that same
Cemetery the film’s main character is a
caretaker who lives on the grounds of
the graveyard he maintains but this
isn’t just any graveyard in fact it’s
especially high maintenance because its
residents tend to rise from their
resting places and are reanimated into
violent creatures
[Music]
this leaves the main character with the
responsibility of killing them before
they attack the townspeople number seven
beetlejuice
[Music]
although the graveyard in this movie is
actually just a model of a graveyard
within a model town it’s still plenty
creepy I think we’re in the model
especially when the title character
rises from his fake grave the graveyard
is funny and scary at the same time with
its combination of lurid neon signs foam
rubber grass and flashes of lightning
with all that happens there it doesn’t
even matter that the cemetery isn’t real
or that it’s miniature its impact is
anything but small what do you think of
this number 6 the omen if there’s an old
cemetery from Etruscan times this creepy
cemetery has it all a forbidding looking
wrought iron fence a spooky gothic
church nearby plus storms and vicious
animals that seem to materialize out of
nowhere not only are its residents dead
others who enter also may meet their
demise here with unnerving regularity
and in particularly gruesome fashion
whether daytime or nighttime rather than
being a place of peaceful rest the
Oman’s cemetery ranges from being nearly
gloomy to downright terrifying
[Music]
number five The Addams Family franchise
for your life it’s all fun and games
dance
the Great God stench okay in most movies
the characters that are still alive seek
to spend as little time as possible in
cemeteries out to the cemetery come on
everyone either play this before how’s
it go did you bring a shovel in fact
even the dead characters are often
trying to get out of them this is not
the case with gomez Morticia and the
rest of the Addams clan for them the
graveyard is a place to dance play or
even indulge in a bit of romance
[Music]
so dark and gloomy this graveyard is
also special because it’s a happy place
where the family can keep in touch with
ancestors who’s passed on and Schley
Borgia executed by a firing squad
cousin flesh for limb from limb life for
wild horses number four Harry Potter and
the Goblet of Fire where are we in the
land of wizardry and witchcraft a
graveyard is not surprisingly also
filled with the supernatural you ended
up in that graveyard tonight because it
was meant to be so and now that dude is
done to these banners Lord the graveyard
in this fantasy flick is literally
straight out of Harry’s and nightmares
okay before it’s dark and gloomy like
most great movie cemeteries but there
are other unique features that make this
one extra creepy including a statue of
the Angel of Death that comes to life
and keeps Harry from being able to move
or defend himself from evil the fact
that this cemetery also happens to be
the place where the Dark Lord stages his
return makes it all the more terrifying
number three Return of the Living Dead
we could go fool around in there for a
while you mean that cemetery ah let’s do
that what do you get when you combine at
graveyard zombies and teenage punk
rockers you get a cutting-edge
soundtrack as well as an outlandish
cemetery dance scene and impromptu
striptease all of which are featured in
this movie
aside from the graveyard dance this
big-screen cemetery has all the
requisites scary stuff such as
thunderstorms and a multitude of hungry
corpses rising from their graves in
search of the usual zombie delicacy also
known as parades
number two Pet Sematary
where does it lead Pet Sematary losing a
pet is always a tragedy
so what could possibly go wrong when a
doting dad is willing to go to any
lengths to bring about a happy reunion
between his kid and a furry friend how
can you call it a good thing a graveyard
for pets killed in the road built by
brokenhearted children this movie
answers that question and shows why
reanimating a beloved but deceased pet
can be a very bad idea this cinematic
graveyard also has the distinction of
being scary enough to inspire a Ramone
song of the same name which is featured
during the film’s credits
[Music]
[Music]
before we reveal our top pick here are
some honorable mentions what a filthy
job could be worse how could be raining
they can’t touch us you’re right well
they can’t
[Music]
I’ll have to stop soon hazel they’re
frightened and tired number one army of
darkness a cemetery there the
Necronomicon awaits this movie graveyard
is full of everything that defines
spooky graveyards in the scene where the
main character ash is seeking the
Necronomicon there are graves being
watched over by demonic creatures carved
in stone flashes of lightning
punctuating a general atmosphere of doom
and gloom trees with long barren
branches and fog but it’s the dozens of
boney
reaching hands exploding from the tools
like landmines
out of the depths of Hell that put this
cemetery at the top of our list
