Blood from the Mummy`s Tomb (VHS)
Based on Bram Stoker`s novel JEWEL OF THE SEVEN STARS, this mummy movie from Hammer Studios does not have so much as one bandage wrapped zombie in any of its frames. It does, however, have the fetching Valerie Leon, in a performance that would make her an icon for Hammer, as the vessel for a long dead Egyptian queen. Leon plays Margaret, a young woman plagued by nightmares of Queen Tera, who looks exactly like her, being sealed into a tomb by a group of priests. When her archaeologist father, Julian Fuchs, gives her a ring that had belonged to Tera, it sets into motion a series of supernatural events that are destined to end with the evil Tera`s rebirth. A popular success at the time of its release, BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY`S TOMB, a creepy, intelligent, and original take on the genre, stands as one of Hammer Studios` best films.NR"

After a post-graduation Fourth of July beer blast, four tipsy teens accidentally smash up a pedestrian with their car, and, in a panic, dispose of the almost-dead body in the ocean. Sure enough, the following summer, the reunited group is stalked by a mysterious figure clad in fisherman`s garb--replete with fish hook. A putative echo of screenwriter Kevin Williamson`s mega-hit Scream, substituting that movie`s inside-jokiness for genuine feelings of guilt and angst.

My Bloody Valentine (DVD)
Twenty years ago in the sleepy mining town of Valentine Bluffs, a fatal mining disaster occurred on Valentine`s Day while key members of the crew were decorating for a party. The sole survivor of the accident killed the absentee crew members and warned the town never to have another Valentine`s Day celebration. When a group of teenagers decides that the the town has gone without a party long enough and begin planning one, a murderous maniac in mining gear begins showing up and dispatching townsfolk in bloody and creative ways. Combining the small town atmosphere of HALLOWEEN (1978) with the body count gore of FRIDAY THE 13TH (1978), MY BLOODY VALENTINE is an example of the glut of low-budget copycat films that those two influential films inspired in the early 1980s.R"
