The latest edition of Richard Klemensen's excellent magazine Little Shoppe of Horrors is now available. This issue sees an exploration of Hammer's exciting forays into the territory of ancient Egypt and the mythology of horror cinema's most famous embalmed corpse. Hammer's series of films included The Mummy (1959), Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964), The Mummy's Shroud (1967 - my personal favourite) and Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971). This exhaustive chronicle of Hammer and its productions is faultlessly researched, enthusiastically written, and beautifully illustrated with rare production stills and fan art.
