Closely similar to film morticians, in spirit anyway, are the various
doctors and gravediggers in THE BODY SNATCHER (1945) and the family members
and minister who terrorize the child in 3 FACES OF EVE. I think also that
some appeared in a Roger Corman version of one of Poe's stories (THE STRANGE
CASE OF M. VALDEMAR?)
