通过几位当事人的视角，旁白叙述中动画与资料影像拼接还原出令人揪心的案发经过，它用这种方式使观众能更自然地了解与代入这个发生于50年前的枪击案，其专注于几位当事人关键抉择的悬念塑造，与之后插入的真人采访录像，以及有意忽略凶手的叙事策略，表明影片重点是关于几位普通人的伟大抉择与伤痛回忆。

When a young girl attends a funeral in an old mortuary, she stumbles upon a secret room full of curiosities where she meets the towering, ominous mortician. He guides her through his collection, sharing four stories of wild, unique, and memorable deaths. Thus begins the narrative skeleton surrounding this delightful, morbid, and clever anthology.　　Each of the four stories brings us into a fully realized, impeccably designed period piece, moving chronologically from the 1950s through the 1980s. A ‘50s housewife struggles with a mysterious presence in her bathroom; a ‘60s college boy gets a taste of his own fraternizing medicine; and a ‘70s husband makes some tough decisions about his wife — all culminating in the ‘80s-set The Babysitter Murders (which writerdirector Ryan Spindell previously won Best Director at Fantastic Fest for).　　With a vibrant variety of tones and timely themes, The Mortuary Collection is a wild ride that showcases a balance of humor, terror, squirm-inducing moments, and the ability to completely pull the rug out from under the audience.

八位导演选择了差别的可怕片子，针对的是可怕片中常常出现的比方和太过利用的陈词滥调。
