''Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror'' (1981) is an [[So Bad
The movie begins with the good Professor Ayres making an unspoken but profound discovery during the study of an [[Sacred Language|Etruscan]] [[Ancient Tomb|cave]], which prompts him to hack away at the cave wall with a pickaxe. Then some zombies show up out of nowhere. [[The Quisling|He tells them that he's their friend]], but it doesn't work: they tear him apart and eat his flesh.
Meanwhile, three young couples arrive at the Professor's country mansion, one of which has a [[Dawson Casting|child named Michael]] (played by the legendary Peter Bark). After a night of softcore sex, the couples wander around the grounds, taking photographs, and [[What Happened to The Mouse?|wondering where Professor Ayres has gone]]. Inside the house, light bulbs start exploding for no reason at all except to shock the servants. Zombies then start rising from some very shallow graves and attack. The characters barricade themselves inside the mansion, but to no avail--the zombies locate the tool shed, and eventually break through the doors with a battering ram. [[Parental Incest|Oh, and also, Michael tries to seduce his mother.]]

* [[Ancient Tomb]]: Professor Aryes begins the movie by chipping away at the wall in one of these. It doesn't go well for him.
* [[Bear Trap]]: There's one in the garden. For some reason.
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Kill It With Fire]]: Michael points to some cans of paint and says "Mama, set it on fire!" The plan works. It's just too bad they forget about it by the next scene.
* [[The Load]]: The girl who manages to step in the bear trap does little more than scream, limp, and get carried around. Yes, the bear trap in the garden.
* [[Non
* [[Not Using the Z Word]]: Played straight, until the zombie Peter Bark shows up.
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: These are a bit of a mashup. They presumably rose as the result of a curse, because the Professor was making too much racket, or possibly because the plot required them to. They also eat the flesh of the living. Zombification usually spreads after someone is bitten by a zombie, although having shards of glass jammed into one's face seems to do the trick, too. Oh, and the zombies can use tools, and know how to put on disguises. A shot to the head, fire, and in one case, ''strangulation'', will kill them, depending on the scene.
