Lot No 249

Lot No. 249 (1892)

Arthur Conan Doyle

Oxford student and Egyptologist sends a four thousand year old mummy after his enemies, but meets his match in the person of the medical student who lives upstairs. Satisfying supernaturalism, with a cozy opening and some creepy atmosphere. The basis for one-third of the anthology film Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (1990).
