The premise

From deep within the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, Professor Douglas McCadden ships the coffin of Ankh-Vanharis to the California Institute of Sciences where X-rays reveal five diamond-like crystals hidden within the coffin. Technician Peter Sharpe steals the crystals but doesn't notice that the powerful X-ray has revived a green fungus. When the coffin is opened at a university press conference, the reporters uncover more than they bargained for. The mummy has disappeared... and the Time Walker is alive again!

Horror Vault's take

When archaeologist Professor McCadden ships a mysterious coffin unearthed from Tutankhamun's tomb to a California university, an X-ray examination inadvertently awakens something that should have stayed dormant. A set of stolen crystals and a spreading alien fungus set the stage for a creature unlike any mummy legend you've encountered before. As the body count rises and the being stalks the campus, the line between ancient mythology and extraterrestrial truth begins to blur. This early-eighties creature feature puts a sci-fi spin on classic monster-movie lore.
