Will this be enough to cheer Frank Darabont up after the recent WALKING DEAD debacle? Probably not, but it will cheer up his UK fans at least.

The good folks at Second Sight Films have announced that the director’s debut movie, hithero unavailable on DVD, will finally arrive on DVD this Halloween.

I must confess, this completely passed me by back in the 90’s, and after reading the synopsis I’m kicking myself – it sounds fantastic…

From the Press Release:

Hard-working construction company owner, Clint (Tim Matheson), is married to Joanna (Jennifer Jason Leigh), but little does he know she’s having an affair with a doctor and the pair are plotting to kill him to get a hefty insurance payout. One night Joanne injects Clint with poison and with the help of her lover they set about burying him in a shallow grave. But there’s one slight problem; Clint isn’t dead!

Get BURIED ALIVE on October 17th. I’m just off to pop in my pre-order…
