    A black metal psycho is on the loose in sunny SoCal (not really, but sort of)

    After her fathers dubious death at his manor in Malibu, a young woman and her beau (Mary Beth McDonough & David Wysocki) trace the truth to a mortician who holds cult-like seances (Christopher George), not to mention his psychologically troubled son, an embalmer (Bill Paxton). Lynda Day George is on hand as the mother.

    "Mortuary" (1982/1983) starts as occult-oriented horror akin to "Midnight Offerings" (1981), which also starred Mary Beth, but it takes a different path, morphing into a horror-thriller mystery à la The Night Strangler (1973) with slasher elements in a mortuary/cemetery setting. The last act throws in something reminiscent of Dont Go...
