synopsis
Also released as Cries in the Night, Funeral Home serves up a generous supply of shudders even for non-fans of the horror genre. Teenager Heather (Lesleh Donaldson) spends a very unsettling summer vacation with her grandmother Maude (Kay Hawtrey). It seems that Maude's small hotel was once a funeral parlor -- and it is subject to disembodied moans and groans in the middle of the night. When several of Maude's summer guests disappear from view, Heather decides to investigate..all alone. A certain Alfred Hitchcock film is shamelessly invoked throughout Funeral Home, clueing the viewer to the bone-chilling climactic payoff.
