Hazel Burroughs (Catherine Hicks) was the villainess of the 2016 Lifetime film Honeymoon From Hell (Alternately titled The Legend Of Alice Flagg). Hazel was the owner of a cozy bed-and-breakfast, famous for its' legend of Alice Flagg, a young bride who tragically died in the house years before. When newlyweds Julia and Rivers McCoy arrived for their honeymoon, Hazel acted as the perfect caretaker, especially bonding with Julia. When Julia became convinced that Alice Flagg was haunting her, Hazel acted supportive towards her, assuring her that nobody was going to hurt her.
However, unbeknownst to Julia, Hazel has been enlisted by Rivers to kill her and make it appear to be suicide so he could inherit her family fortune. While Rivers became hesitant of the plan after it is revealed that Julia was pregnant, Hazel remained intent on going through with the plan and collecting her share of Julia's fortunee. In order to keep him from interfering, Hazel has her handyman Bear (who was also a part of the scheme) kill fellow handyman Walter and the Deputy (who comes to make sure everyone is safe from an incoming storm). One night, while the storm approaches, Hazel tried to give Julia a drugged tea, but Julia refuses it. Hazel takes her downstairs, where they find the Deputy's dead body and Hazel reveals her villainous nature, trying to force Julia to take a lethal dose of pills. Julia runs away, along with fellow guest Janelle Gamble. The two women manage to outrun the villainous duo and hide, but eventually Hazel finds them, proceeding to kill Janelle with a dart to the temple.
Julia runs back into the house, where Rivers is being held hostage by the final member of the evil team: "Alice Flagg," who is really Rivers' lover. Hazel and Bear burst in just after the woman fatally stabs Rivers, angering her, as Rivers dying ruins their plan to get Julia's money. Hazel then decides they have to flee and prepares to burn the house down to get rid of all the evidence. Bear then knocks Julia out and they all flee the scene in Hazel's car. Julia manages to escape the house before it explodes and she learns in the hospital that Hazel was killed when she crashed her car at the end of the driveway, along with the rest of her villainous cohorts.
