Following on from their hugely successful forays into Universal Horror remakes with Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and Dracula (1958) Hammer turned its attention to another horror icon - "The Mummy" (1959). Shot in 'Terrifying Technicolor' it was a stylish and effective production which re-united Peter Cushing as the Egyptologist John Banning and Christopher Lee, as the mute immortal Mummy, Kharis. Unusually for a Hammer production a similar poster design by Bill Wiggins and Joseph Smith was used in to promote the movie in both countries and is offered here in the scarce US insert format.
