Tale about a girl who rigs a device to keep from being buried alive. Gastón Santos, María (Mary) Duval. Directed by Fernando Méndez.

This one's loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Premature Burial" and details a woman's obsession with being buried alive. She even has an alarm bell rigged into her coffin for just such emergencies. Filmed and released in Mexico in 1958, but it didn't make it to the US until 1965.
