Our buddies over at Movies Online have posted an interview with Christy Johnson, who gets the honor of playing a reanimated corpse in Tobe Hooper’s MORTUARY. She gives a bit more info about what is going on in the flick. Here’s a taste:
It begins with a family (a mother, son, and daughter) that move to the small town of Arkham, Massachusetts in order to start a new life. They move into and take over the business of the abandoned Fowler Brothers Funeral Home, that most of locals fear is haunted. Just when they start getting business, and making friends, weird things start happening.
There is something that is lurking beneath the town that raises rotten corpses from their graves, as well as the freshly dead bodies sent to the home. It begins to take over the town with a disgusting blue-green ooze and seems to embody the living.
It seems to feed on death itself. Only those not yet affected by it can try to defeat it. Everyone else is one of them.
You can catch the rest of her interview, along with her impressions of working with The Hoop, here.
