What happens

Blood from the Mummy's Tomb is a 1971 British horror film from Hammer Film Productions. It was director Seth Holt's final film, as he died partway through production, and the film was completed by Michael Carreras. It stars Andrew Keir, Valerie Leon, James Villiers, Hugh Burden and George Coulouris. The screenplay by Christopher Wicking is loosely based on Bram Stoker's 1903 novel The Jewel of Seven Stars. Despite its troubled production, including the death of Holt and the premature departure of original star Peter Cushing, Blood from the Mummy's Tomb has also been called one of Hammer's best films of the 1970s. It was the fourth and final of Hammer's Mummy films, and released by MGM-EMI as the support feature to Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde on 14 October 1971. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
