  Ann Radcliffe
Graveyard poetry flourished in the first half of the Eighteenth Century and continued the ground work which would eventually become the Gothic.
The Graveyard school's principle poetic objects which became staples in Gothic literature, other than graves and churchyards, were night, ruins, death and ghosts.
While reveling in the images of death and the horrors of the grave, the principle goal of the graveyard school was to glory in the spiritual end that the tomb represented by turning the trappings of death into objects of aesthetic appreciation.

Jumbuck was able to capture the solid graphics and busy gameplay of that title, but Gothic Graveyard doesn't measure up to the classics that inspired it.
You play a chain saw-for-hands "hero" who must use his appendages, as well as a flamethrower, to dispatch different graveyards of ghosts and ghouls.
All the graveyards look the same (not true anywhere else), and it seems that there are only four different enemies.

 Graveyard orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A graveyard orbit, also called a supersynchronous orbit, is an orbit significantly above synchronous orbit where spacecraft are intentionally placed at the end of their operational life.
For satellites in a geostationary orbit and geosynchronous orbits, the graveyard orbit would be few hundred kilometers above the operational orbit.
The transfer to graveyard orbit above geostationary orbit however requires the same amount of fuel that a satellite needs for approximately three months of stationkeeping.

The family graveyard became a community cemetery and was formally deeded as such in 1912.
The graveyard was deeded to a local congregation in 1877 and in 1966 a cemetery association was formed.
Although the land was in use as a graveyard years earlier, it was not officially deeded as such by Thomas L. and H. Rutledge until 1872, and did not appear in deed records as a cemetery until 1877.

 Light at night and working the graveyard shift linked to increased risk of breast cancer
Davis and colleagues found that women who worked the graveyard shift at least once during the decade before breast-cancer diagnosis were at approximately 60 percent increased risk for breast cancer compared with those who did not work the graveyard shift.
Davis and colleagues found that breast-cancer risk was associated with the number of years of shift work and the number of hours per week of working the graveyard shift.
For example, women who logged at least four and a half years of frequent night-shift work — during which they were awake at least three nights per week between 1 and 2 a.m., when nocturnal melatonin levels are typically at their peak — experienced a twofold increased risk of breast cancer.

The title is misleading as the graveyard is only a backdrop for a sleep-away camp type slasher flick.
Once upon a time a group of high school campers decided to pull a prank on one of their number in a graveyard when they were playing "run for your life," which is basically hide and go seek for drunken teenagers.
My understanding is that "The Graveyard" was originally supposed to be "Bloody Murder 3," a series of camp slasher flicks that got off to a bad start with the original, gave significant signs of hope, and then went back to a lack of imagination for this offering.
