THE CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY-1957-In this sequel to THE AZTEC MUMMY (made earlier in '57), Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castenada) aka The Bat is sprung from jail by his gang led by Tierno. Krupp is still after the necklace and breastplate the mummy Popoca (Angel Di Stefani) is guarding. They invade the home of Dr. Almada (Ramon Gay) and kidnap his wife Flor (Rosita Arenas) because under hypnotism she was regressed and turns out she was Popoca's love, Xochitl. Also thrown in is a masked "El Santo" crime fighter called "The Angel". After Krupp awakens the mummy by stealing the sacred objects. Popoca inadvertently saves the good guys by beating up the gang and throwing Krupp into a pit of snakes.
This is a wacky sequel that looks more like it was made 10 years earlier. Every one runs around a lot and Popoca is pretty scary. The director Rafael Portillo also made the second sequel THE ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY and many more movies in Mexico.
Thanks for reading!
