Following on from their recent releases of the fully restored and re-mastered Hammer classics, The Reptile and The Plague of the Zombies last June, Studiocanal have announced the release of the next three iconic Hammer titles in their new restoration series in October: The Mummy's Shroud, Rasputin the Mad Monk and our favourite Hammer film of all, The Devil Rides Out.

The Mummy's Shroud (1967)

The time is 1920; the place is Mezzera, Egypt, an exotic land of mystery and ancient magic. A routine expedition is about to turn into a violent, murderous rampage that few willsurvive. Renowned scientist Sir Basil Walden and a team of expert archaeologists are on a journey to find the lost tomb of pharaoh Kah-to-Bey. Having ignored warnings of a deathly curse, the expedition unearths the pharaoh's final resting place with horrific consequences. A vengeful spirit has been unleashed and it wants their flesh...

Directed by John Gilling (The Reptile, The Plague of the Zombies) and starring André Morell (Bernard Quatermass in the TV original of Quatermass and the Pit), John Phillips, David Buck and Elizabeth Sellars, and with support from Roger Delgado (the original The Master on Dr. Who) and Hammer regular Michael Ripper, Hammer's The Mummy's Shroud has gained cult notoriety for its gruesome murder sequences and its striking climax.
