Here is the key to our clips heard in this morning’s montage of famous cemeteries, graveyards and funerals in pop culture: Thriller by Michael Jackson. The most famous dance routine set in a graveyard. Opening moments from the original Night of the Living Dead. The original “graveyard smash”, "The Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett. A wonderful Lee Marvin stumbles into a funeral in the underrated comedy, Cat Ballou. Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman have a rough night in the cemetery in Young Frankenstein. Opening moments from a 1940 film version of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town. Abe Vigoda and Al Pacino is a pivotal scene at Don Corleone’s funeral in The Godfather. Theme from the HBO series Six Feet Under. Reginald Owen as Scrooge in the 1938 film A Christmas Carol as he sees his own grave. The Crypt Keeper from an opening episode of the HBO series Tales From the Crypt. Apologies to: that wonderful scene with Eli Wallach in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Dick Van Dyke’s narration in the opening of the movie The Comedian, all those vampire movies, about 1000 metal songs and the still-creepy ending to Carrie. Maybe next time.
