The Mummy's Shroud1967
“Beware the beat of the cloth-wrapped feet!”
Directed by John Gilling
The premise
Archaeologists discover the final resting place of a boy king, removing the remains to be exhibited in a museum. By disturbing the sarcophagus they unleash the forces of darkness. The Mummy has returned to discharge a violent retribution on the defilers as the curse that surrounds the tomb begins to come true. One by one the explorers are murdered until one of them discovers the ancient words that have the power to reduce the brutal killer to particles of dust.
Horror Vault's take
When a 1920s expedition unearths the tomb of a long-forgotten boy pharaoh, the triumphant discovery quickly sours into a nightmare. A malevolent force is awakened alongside the remains, and the members of the party soon find themselves hunted one by one. Hammer's atmospheric period setting lends the tale a creeping dread as the body count climbs and the curse proves terrifyingly literal. A race against time begins to find a way to stop the unstoppable before no one is left standing.
