Halloween Movie Ideas 5 - Blood from the Mummy's Tomb



Halloween is a Hammer-y time of the year, and who doesn't like a bit of Ancient Egyptian folderol, complete with a severed hand that crawls about a bit?

I just saw this one. It wasn't bad. I was on a Hammer mummy movie run and saw it after The Mummy's Shroud. They don't make mummy movies like they used to...fun and scary (I don't consider Universal's recent batch of Mummy movies scary. They're action-adventure movies).

It's not a brilliant film but it is satisfyingly 'Hammer-y'. Also, when I was young I had a thing for Valerie Leon, who appeared as a martial arts femme fatale in an aftershave commercial.

'Schalken the Painter' by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
