Stoney Jackson, born in 1960, made his mark in the cult film landscape with a series of standout performances. He appears in Roller Boogie (1979) as a vibrant character who embodies the era's disco culture, and in Streets of Fire (1984), he plays a key role in the film's rock and roll narrative. Jackson's contributions extend to Jocks (1986) and Mortuary Academy (1988), where he navigates the comedic and horror elements of the genre. His work in Angel 4: Undercover (1994) further solidifies his place in the world of exploitation cinema.
Mortuary Academy
Sam (Christopher Atkins) and Max Grimm (Perry Lang) inherit the Grimm Mortuary and Academy from their uncle, but in order to obtain it, they must graduate from the mortician's course. The current owner is Dr. Paul Truscott (Paul Bartel), who tells the Grimm brothers that if they fail to graduate, the ownership of the business will stay with him. Truscott and his assistant Mary (Mary Woronov), who is the only professor at the academy, conspire to make sure the brothers do not succeed. Both Paul and Mary have necrophilia, messing with dead bodies and doing poor mortuary jobs for customers. The other students try to graduate as well, including a student that impales dead bodies and another student that brings a puppy "back from the dead" with robotic engineering.
