About Hollywood Mortuary
Framed by interviews with real life celebrities, Hollywood Mortuary tells the tale of a horror make-up artist who, in 1941 Hollywood, uses voodoo to resurrect two rival horror stars (thinly disguised versions of Karloff and Lugosi) from the dead to help revive his fading career.
Directed by Ron Ford, Hollywood Mortuary leans on a strong ensemble — Randal Malone, Tim Sullivan, Ron Ford — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1998.

Hazel runs a beauty salon out of her house, but makes extra money by providing ruthless women the oppurtunity to perform hit jobs. L.T. is a parasite, and contacts Hazel looking for work after he runs out of money. She is reluctant to use him for a hit, since she prefers using women, but decides to try him on a trial basis. Meanwhile, the cop she pays off wants an arrest to make it look like he's doing his job, but Hazel doesn't want to sacrifice any of her "associates". The sleazy side of life is explored in this delightfully dark and deadpan film.
