Following the death of his sister, who was co-director with him of the Cowan Research Center in Pasadena, Dr. Frederick Munson was ousted and replaced by his widowed brother-in-law, Dr. Edmund Redding. Through Redding's son, Timmy, Munson has been able to learn of a secret project at the institute involving the use of hypnosis to regress subjects to past lives, which information Munson passes along to a friend, Dr. John Janney. To a newspaper editor-friend, Munson relates what happened next: through the hypnotic regression, Redding established that Ann Taylor was a reincarnated Aztec woman and, via her recovered memories, was able to find hidden chambers in the Great Pyramid of Yucatan, which store a treasure of the ancient Aztecs. However, the treasure was guarded by a living mummy, which killed Redding but was captured and brought back to Pasadena by Redding's assistants. As Munson conspired to regain control of the Cowan Institute, Janney plotted to steal the mummy and learn its secrets. A hired thief locates the mummy, but it escapes him, and makes for the home of Ann Taylor... —Rich Wannen <RichWannen@worldnet.att.net>

An interesting example of Warren's work.

More of the usual Jerry Warren mish mash, perhaps a bit different because of the larger amounts of original footage than other movies he inserted his work into. For this reason alone I think its worth checking out if you are interested in Warren's work.

Not the worst by any means, its strange how far apart both films are in many ways yet they do not feel incredibly distant from each other like in previous of Warren's outings. Its still quite incoherent and the editing its very messy but manages to bring some good cheese factor to it, wouldnt want it any other way.

This is definitely some of his laziest work regarding his directing, the long steady shots are much more visible and apparent than before. Other than that, its not the worst movie featuring a Mexican mummy, perhaps the dullness of The Aztec Mummy and the cheapness of Warrens additions are enough to make your average audience member be incredibly confused and bored. Its a decent example of this sort of schlock from the great "butcher" of B-films.
