Terrance Fisher’s acclaimed seminal Hammer horrors THE MUMMY (1958) and the last in the series of eight iconic Frankenstein films FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (1974), starring screen icon Peter Cushing (Dracula, Star Wars), are resurrected as they arrive by Second Sight Films on Standard Edition Blu-ray complete with a slew of special features on 25 May 2026.
THE MUMMY
THE MUMMY sees Cushing give a haunting turn as an Egyptologist who discovers an ancient tomb and inadvertently unleashes the vengeful mummy of an Egyptian priest played by horror legend, Christopher Lee (Dracula, The Wicker Man, The Lord of The Rings).
In 1890s Egypt, a team of British archaeologists: John Banning (Cushing), his father Stephen Banning (Felix Aylmer), and Uncle Joseph Whemple (Raymond Huntley), discover the untouched tomb of Princess Ananka (Yvonne Furneaux). Inside the tomb, Peter discovers The Scroll of Life and, when he reads it aloud, he unknowingly brings the mummified body of the high priest Kharis (Lee) back to life...
Three years later and the group have returned to England, unaware of the nefarious consequences of their actions. A follower of the same Egyptian religion unleashes The Mummy to exact grisly revenge on the despoilers of the sacred past. As the creature edges nearer to exact its revenge, can anything save them from its relentlessly vicious and vengeful mission?

FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL
When a young doctor, Simon Helder (Shane Briant – Time Traveller) is committed to an insane asylum where the legendary Baron Frankenstein supposedly perished after being found experimenting on stolen corpses, he is quickly taken under the wing of mysterious Doctor Victor (Cushing).
But Simon quickly realises that there’s more than meets the eye with Doctor Victor, and that Frankenstein is alive and well and is continuing his macabre experiments...
This grisly, gothic Hammer production is a thought-provoking and stylish closure to the Frankenstein anthology, featuring another superb turn from Peter Cushing and boasting oodles of bloodshed, and spectacularly frightful moments.
