Two examples of these movies were the 1959 The Mummy and Curse of the Mummys Tomb in 1964.Low budget horror movies were common but when they were produce by the Hammer Film Production, the quality of these movies were consistently high.

The Mummy movie poster artwork of the beam of light spearing through the mummy's body was basically the same from various countries

These are the French and Spanish posters.

Italian versions of the movie poster. The one on the left is an original and the one on the right is a re-release poster from the 1970s.

The Mummy went on to break box-office records

This was the first mummy movie shot in color.

Curse of the Mummy's Tomb done in 1964 was Hammer's first mummy movie after their 1959 version.

Movie was directed by Michael Carreras. Also written by Carreras but because of film union rules, he used the pseudonym name of Henry Younger which appears on the posters.

The Mummy's Shroud was the last Hammer film to be shot at their Bray Studios.

Very disappointing artwork for the US poster but you can see how by adding a little color like the French poster can greatly enhance the graphics.

Blood From The Mummy's Tomb was the last of the four Hammer mummy movies had several production problems.

Peter Cushing left after only one day of filming to his wife's death and was replaced by Andrew Keir.

Director Seth Holt died during the filing of the movie which was completed by Michael Carreras.

Great Belgium movie poster but the Australian lacked color punch but had a more sexier Valerie Leon.
