Nice n' cheesy and fine "B" level horror, even down to the unstable and hyperactive wife arguing with the husband - who's now the mummy.
Quote from husband: "...the mummy and I - we're the same, Martha, the same!" Quote from wife: "THE SAME ?! WILLIAM !!!" |

An evil nurse & her cohorts conspire to drive a woman insane, to get her share of an inheritance - just what they did to the woman's father. Great.
Quote: "I don't know how long I'd been hearing music - it had seemed all part of the dream. But then it began to unnerve me...it became frenzied and hating and evil - it sounded like ALL THE DEMONS OF HELL AND THE THINGS OF THE NIGHT WERE AFTER ME ! MAKE IT STOP ! MAKE IT GO AWAY ! PLEASE !!! PLEASE !!! PLEASE !!! |
