What happens
La Casa del Terror (lit. 'House of Terror') is a 1960 Mexican horror comedy film written and directed by Gilberto Martínez Solares, and starring Germán Valdés «Tin-Tan» and Yolanda Varela. The film revolves around Casimiro (Valdés), a night watchman in a wax museum, whose boss, Professor Sebastian (Yerye Beirute), has been secretly draining his blood to use in his experiments in resurrection. A mummy (Lon Chaney Jr.) who is stolen from an Egyptian sarcophagus is revived to life, and becomes a werewolf when moonlight hits him. The film was made in Mexico in 1959, with Chaney traveling there to perform his role in the film. Segments of La Casa del Terror were years later combined with footage from a 1957 Mexican film, La Momia Azteca, to create a hybrid film called Face of the Screaming Werewolf by producer Jerry Warren.
