Nobody smelled dead bodies? No odors at all?

That's what I thought, but did you see how they were bandaged? Looked like they were mummified or something, and then I remembered how every time I see that Egyptian mummy at the museum it doesn't smell at all- so perhaps it's the way they're bandaged? I'd assume they do something special to the one at the museum though!

Let me tell you, I've walled up many of my victims' corpses, and mummification is the way to go. Mummies smell like dust, perfect for moldering inside a wall or crawlspace somewhere.

The smell is caused by the liquids and gasses escaping the body as it decays. The bodies stored in the walls were already emptied of organs and fluids before being stored, so they would basically dry out rather than liquefy. The lack of fluids lessened the attractiveness of the bodies for bugs, and mice are primarily herbivores so they wouldn't be nibbling on the bodies either.

Guys, they were in a FUNERAL HOME. The mortician would have done all of the things (such as drain all the bodily fluids and replaced them with formaldehyde) which will prevent rotting and smell.

A corpse would only smell for a certain amount of time anyway. Once it decomposed and dried out it wouldn't smell anymore. How long was it supposed to be since all that stuff happened in the house, like a hundred years or so? I think the corpses would be all dried up by then. Hence, no odor.
