British author Barry Atkinson offers this nostalgic reminiscence of his childhood quest to sneak into X-rated horror films

Praise for Terror in the Pharaoh’s Tomb
T e rror in the Pharaoh ’ s T o mb takes The
Mummy to a new level. Guaranteed screams and laughs.—Julie Corman (Producer, CEO Trinity Pictures, Chair of New York University’s Graduate Film Program 2000-2002)
A. Susan Svehla has transformed the process of digital-collage filmmaking into a playful exercise in imagination—combining rambunctious storytelling, witty double-entendre dialogue with sharply attuned character portrayals and well-timed glimpses of Weird Old Hollywood to hypnotic effect. Such qualities, along with the creepiest Living Mummy since 1957’s Pharaoh ’ s C urse, make
Svehla’s T e rror in the Pharaoh ’ s T o mb a memorable follow-up to 2006’s T e rror in the Tropics.—Michael H. Price (Ft. W o rth Business Press, Forgotten Horrors)
Producers Releasing Corporation meets Dead Men Don ’ t W e ar Plaid. Movie buffs, kids and mystery
