Production

Mortuary was announced in late September 1980 as a suspense film spearheaded by Howard Avedis and Marlene Schmidt under their banner Hickmar Productions, targeting the wave of post‑Halloween slashers. Initial budget projections ranged from US $850,000 to $900,000, though some promotional reports inflated the figure dramatically to as high as $7–9 million; insiders later confirmed the lower estimate reflected reality.
