Men will rob ancient tombs with no qualms, but the second a woman starts accessing ancient magical powers then they start caring about morality. We're covering Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, the 1971 Hammer horror about an ancient sorceress possessing a modern London woman. Listen at movieswedig.com!

We talk Bram Stoker, Egyptology, the anxieties over female liberation throughout the 20th century and why Freud might have really vibed with this movie. Also, if a corpse bleeds continuously from a severed hand for over 3,000 years, how much blood would it produce? #mummy #bramstoker #hammerhorror

While some might question if this film even has a real Mummy, there is no doubt Cronin drew inspiration from from all the previous films to explore fears that are timeless. Plus, we'll never look at a pedicure in the same way.
