"Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" is a 1971 British film starring Andrew Keir, Valerie Leon, and James Villiers. This was director Seth Holt's final film, and was adapted from Bram Stoker's novel "The Jewel of Seven Stars". The film was released as the support feature to "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde".

The movie involves an expedition led by Professor Fuchs (Keir) to find the cursed tomb of an evil Egyptian princess. Upon returning to London, Fuchs and his daughter (Valerie Leon) become involved with death and reincarnation.

Production

The film is notable for its troubled production. Peter Cushing was cast in the film and completed one day's filming before leaving the production after his wife was diagnosed with emphysema. Cushing was replaced by Andrew Keir. The R1 DVD of the film released in America by Anchor Bay Entertainment contains still photographs of Cushing's day on the production. Director Seth Holt died of a heart attack five weeks into the six week shoot. Michael Carreras directed the final week's filming.

According to the book "Hammer, House of Horror: Behind the Screams" by Howard Maxford, the budget for the film was £200,000. [Maxford, Howard, Hammer, House of Horror:Behind the Screams, B. T. Batsford Ltd, 1996, ISBN 0-7134-7768-7]

The film was shot at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.
