I Bury The Living - 1958 - 4/10

Thriller without thrills, Horror without horrors.
Man assigned to run local cemetery finds he might have the power of life and death!
Office has a big map layout of plots and stickpins.
White pins for reservations, black pins for planted residents.
When he mixes up pins on the map, folks start dying!
Hopeful premise ruined by the man’s (Richard Boone) dismal guilt complex.
Plods along, too talky, stagebound. Feels like a rejected “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” episode.
