    Mummy, The (1959)

    Following Frankenstein and Dracula, director Terence Fisher exhumed another vintage monster for Hammer, albeit in a film where everyone risks being upstaged by a swamp.

    Archaeologists Stephen Banning (Felix Aylmer) and his son John (Peter Cushing) disturb an Egyptian tomb and invoke a terrible curse.

    Back in England, they are tracked down by a Mummy (Christopher Lee), guardian of an embalmed princess, who is seeking to kill those who desecrated the sacred tomb.

    Any scene based around the aforementioned swamp is a winner. Sadly the ‘Egypt’ set looks like it might have ended up on ’70s sitcom It Ain’t Half Hot Mum.
