SANTO EN LA VENGANZA DE LA MOMIA / Mummy With A Bow And Arrows - 1971

So, this is my last Mummy flick I have in my collection, Eegah!! will have to take Mummy Fever to its conclusion, I'm all Mummied Out... In today's tale, Santo is enlisted for an expedition to the lost tomb of Nonoc, an Aztec warrior. It's a cursed tomb and the dead warrior had been entombed and cursed for loving a maiden designated for the gods' use. Arriving at the tomb, they find a scroll which explains that, by entering, they are now officially cursed. Nobody attaches much importance to the announcement, which is a mistake they make. Because shortly thereafter, the party is being stalked and killed off by the avenging mummy, or so it seems.

Here's the gang in the jungle, on their expedition in search of the lost tomb of Nonoc. Looks like everyone's in a good mood so far, we'll see how long that lasts!

After searching the tomb, they locate the mummified body of Nonoc. They take the dead warrior back to their camp for further inspection.

In a flashback, we see Nonoc with his lover, which is a forbidden sin because of their social status. Before Nonoc is captured, the maiden is stabbed to death!

Then, members of the expedition start to get knocked off, with an arrow in the chest...

Time for a laff... One of the guys is crying from the terror, so, he wipes the tears from his eyes using the other guy's beard!

One of Santo's pals does not believe that the Mummy is coming back to life to kill the people in the expedition, so, he takes a knife and stabs the mummy a number of times to prove his point... The damn thing is freakin' DEAD!!

So, if the mummy's dead, why does this guy keep showing up with his bow and quiver of arrows?!.. Something's not quite adding up here.

Besides all that, Santo has to defend himself from brutes like this guy with a big knife!

Oh, and by the way, Santo has a love interest in this one, and Susana is her name...

But, the avenging mummy is still on the prowl, he adds another kill to his list of victims...

By this time, Santo knows that the supposed mummy is actually not, he's just someone trying to steal all the priceless scrolls from the gang. So, time for a big old fight.

After a struggle, the mummy tries to impale Santo with a spear, but, our mighty hero turns the point into the mummy and viola, the thing is dead!

And wouldn't you know it, the mummy is none other than someone pretending to be on Santo's side the whole time!

We'll end our tale with Santo kicking more ass in the ring, bringing things to a happy ending. I'm surprised that the kid isn't looking a little more to his right... We're back on Wednesday with even more craziness, here, at The Dungeon!!..

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA - "The Mummy" (1967)

Welcome back to The Saturday Night Special Mummy Madness Cavalcade in The Dungeon!

 This was Season 03, Episode 20 of "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea," and  for obvious reasons, it was called

"The Mummy."

 The basic premise is they need to deliver this Mummy-filled sarcophagus back to somewhere in the Middle East ASAP to avert a War! 

But the Mummy has other ideas!

 No Master, no burning Tanna leaves, this Mummy is an independent contractor! I'm not quite sure why he wants to spoil this party, that element was never quite explained! He's just on a destructive tear, and is Hellbent on not getting delivered to back where he came from! Maybe he's a wanted man!

 Looking pretty cool right about here, William Kelley is the man behind the bandages!

What an interesting guy! William had only five acting credits, including this one, and in the 40's, he was the man in the skeleton costume in two "Three Stooges" episodes, and he was also the man who played The Ghost in William Castle's "13 Ghosts!"

 It still looks pretty silly to see a Mummy aboard the Seaview! In this scene, he's looking for the latrine!

 So just like Vampires, writers make up their own set of rules when writing Mummy stories!

 This Mummy is really strong, and these two guys are complete idiots for trying to grapple with it. I love this shot because the guy in the back looks like he's getting a face full of something!

 That didn't work out too well!

 One of this Mummy's powers is making guys he fought with totally forget what happened! I have no idea how or why he has this power, but he does!

 He has also taken over the Captain's will somehow too, and while the Mummy is rummaging and rampaging around, the Captain is doing all kinds of destruction to the Seaview too, but nobody knows who is doing it!

 This part's cute! 

The Mummy is hiding from Kowalski like in a kid's game of hide and seek, but he's not very good at it, because he's a freakin' Mummy!

 When the Mummy attacks, Kowalski pushes the panic button, and finally gets somebody's attention!

 The Captain destroyed the circuit board and the Seaview is headed into a nosedive.

Now the sub is damaged inside and out, and there's a Mummy on the loose causing all kinds of havoc!

  After each encounter with the Mummy, somebody tries to shoot it to no avail, so the Admiral comes up with a plan to nuke it!

The Mummy has now sustained a fair amount of damage and ain't looking that suave and debonair any more!

 You can't shoot it, but you can shock the Hell out of it! Go figure!

I guess if there's nothing left but Mummy Chicharonnes, he can't do much more harm to anybody!

 "Oh Wow, did you see that? Big tough Mummy burnt up like a little bitch!"

"There are some things that are better left unexplained."

And you can take that to the bank!

NARCOTIC / One Night of Bliss... A Thousand Nights of Hell..! - 1933

An opening scroll tells us that NARCOTIC was "presented in the hope that the public may become aware of the terrific struggle to rid the world of drug addiction." The movie is nothing but a salacious look into a world of sordid pleasures. It tells the story of Dr. William G. Davies, an infamous snake-oil salesman who started his career as a promising medical student. But. after a single night of relaxation in a Chinatown opium den, Davies becomes addicted to drugs, and soon thereafter, his medical practice deteriorates...

This Dwain (MANIAC) Esper production stars Harry (ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR/ HYDE) Cording, Joan (HYPNOTIZED) Dix, Patricia (KING OF THE JUNGLE) Farley, Jean (GUILTY PARENTS) Lacy and J. Stuart (MARCH OF THE MOVIES) Blackton Jr.

Here's Dr. Davis, he's talking with his Asian friend, Gee Wu, who is an opium smoker. Dr. Davis is fascinated with Wu's tales of the benefits of doing drugs...

Davis recalls an incident as a medical student where he cut the baby out of the mother's stomach to save it after she was killed by an out of control automobile... That top still looks like the guy's piloting some kind of alien spaceship!

Look at that, some medical dude from a Daffy Duck cartoon!!

So, Dr. Davis and a pal spend a blissful night in an opium den, it's the beginning of the end!

Davis feels like a superman now, he can conquer the world, no prob!!

This taxi driver is nearly crazy , he needs his fix... It hits him so hard that he has no idea what he's doing, including running straight into an oncoming train! It amazes me what filmmakers could get away with back in the day!

At the local side show, Dr. Davis pushes his miracle cure, which is nothing more than tiger fat. He gets paid by the cashier after his act is complete.

Now it's time to party!!.. The host brings out an assortment of drugs so that the guests can choose their own preference. Yeah, well... Just pass me a joint.

This gal likes to snort and shoot up, bringing out her sexy side, what else?!

At the end of the session, a gong sounds, time to go home! Mrs. Davis automatically gets paranoid... The next morning at their apartment, Davis can't find his money, so, gets wifey out of bed, and because she doesn't know where the money is, he rips her dress off and leaves the place in a huff.

A year later or so, Davis has a visitor. Davis explains how drugs has helped him see into the future! And, he's told that if he could see into the future, he would have known that drugs would destroy his life!

The horrible truth sets in...

Now, there's only one way to square things up!.. Remember kids, don't use drugs, or...... Tune in tomorrow when Eegah!! will try and entertain the troops, here, at The Dungeon!
