Premature Burial/Man With the X-Ray Eyes(1963)

The Roger Corman Collection Volume four

Premature Burial (1962) – Ray Milland is obsessed with being buried alive, so he’s outfitted his future tomb with all kinds of bells and whistles to insure this won’t happen. Vincent Price was supposed to star in this one, but Milland does a great job as the death-obsessed gentleman.

X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes (1963) 6.5/10 – Like "The Incredible Shrinking Man" this film examines what it means to exist. Ray Milland experiments on himself and gives himself "X-Ray vision". As a result he can see past and through all reality. The only problem is that his senses are unable to take in and comprehend what his eyes are seeing – and seeing through – without going insane.
