    There's a number of them i can think of.

    I'll try and remember.

    1. The old dark house - 1932

    2. Night of terror - 1933

    3. Night must fall - 1937

    Also try a 1944 film called 'The Uninvited'

    Sorry i can't tell you the exact thing.

    Hope i helped you though.

    You described one of the three stories in the pilot episode of the 1969 night gallery TV series. Starring Roddy Mcdowall. There was a corpse dressed in black that rose from the grave, but not a monk. Here's a plot synopsis.It's different than you described but very close, plot wise.

    I'm not sure about your movie but that's almost the exact same thing that happens in a segment of Night Gallery. Roddy McDowall murders his uncle and a painting of the cemetery outside his house shows the old boy leaving his grave and gradually approaching the house. Here's a piece of it:

    I just watched that movie a few weeks ago on late night. Good movie but I can't think of the name of it right now. If I remember I'll let you know.
