Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first Hammer Horror film to feature, yes, a Mummy, released in 1959 and reuniting the director (Terence Fisher) and the stars (Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee) of the studio's previous hits The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula.In 1895 Egypt, a team of British archeologists led by John Banning (Cushing) opens the tomb of Princess Ananka (Yvonne Furneaux), despite warnings of a death curse which will fall upon any desecrators. Three years later in England, a vengeful Egyptian man arrives and unleashes the living mummy Kharis (Lee) on the men. But the mummy's revenge is complicated when he discovers that Banning's wife Isobel is the spitting image of his beloved, long-dead Ananka.

Adaptation Amalgamation: Although intended as a remake of The Mummy (1932), the plot and most of its principle characters are taken from The Mummy's Hand and The Mummy's Tomb. The 1932 movie's famous and early scene of the sight of the mummy walking across the tomb floor driving a member of the archaeological team insane is re-created here, but not seen in any of the 1940s movies. The finale of The Mummy's Ghost is also interpolated into this movie, albeit with a somewhat different outcome. Despite all this, there is no credit to any pre-existing source material at all.

Action Girl: Isobel. She proves this not once, but TWICE even though she never gets physical when saving John from Kharis despite the former specifically telling her to lock herself in her room for her own safety prior to the first attack, and to stay outside with Inspector Mulrooney during the second, although she ends up fainting and being carried away by Kharis.
