    Where to Watch

Shocker about a dead millionaire whose legacy of hate pursues his heirs. Helen Waren. Bruce: Robert Milli. Philip: Roy R. Sheider (Scheider). Vivian: Margot Hartman. Benson: Hugh Franklin. Deborah: Candace Hilligoss. Harrington: Dino Narizzano. Cook: Jane Bruce. Letty: Linda Donovan. Directed by Del Tenney.

Rufus Sinclair, a millionaire who suffers seizures that make him appear to be dead, lives in fear of premature burial. Contained in his will is the promise that should he be buried alive, he will return from the grave to murder his heirs in the manner they most fear. Almost-forgotten, THE CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE is notable only because it is Roy Scheider's film debut and marks the only other known credit of actress Candace Hilligoss, the star of CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962).
