BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB

An expedition led by Professor Fuchs locates the unmarked tomb of Tera, an evil Egyptian queen. A cabal of priests drugged her into a state of suspended animation and buried all of her relics with her. Fuchs is obsessed with Tera and takes her mummy and sarcophagus back to England, where he secretly recreates her tomb under his house. Four days "before her birthday", his daughter Margaret – who bears an uncanny resemblance to Tera and was born at the instant they recited her name – has recurring nightmares. Fuchs gives her the old queen's ring and tells her to "wear it always". This only makes matters worse. Queen Tera's evil power begins to tempt Margaret, as she learns how she is feared by her father's former colleagues.

Margaret notices a man lurking in the vacant building across the street. He is Corbeck, an expedition member who is now her father's rival. Corbeck wants to restore Tera to life, and he persuades Margaret to help him gather the missing relics. However, each time one is given up the person who had held it dies. When they have all the relics, Corbeck, Margaret and Fuchs begin the ancient ritual to reawaken Tera. At the last moment Fuchs learns that the queen's revival will mean Margaret's death. Together Fuchs and Margaret overpower and kill Corbeck, as the house quakes above them. Queen Tera awakens and kills Fuchs, but not before Margaret stabs her. As Margaret and Tera grapple for an ancient dagger, the house finally collapses on them.

Later in the hospital, a woman's face is wrapped in bandages. She is the sole survivor; all the others in the Professor's basement were "crushed beyond recognition". The bandaged woman slowly opens her eyes and struggles to speak, leaving it ambiguous whether she is Margaret Fuchs or Queen Tera.

After a ritual to revive Queen Tera, a climactic struggle ends with the house collapsing and a single, bandaged survivor whose true identity—Margaret or Tera—remains ambiguous.

The ambiguous final shot, with a survivor’s face hidden under bandages, leaves the viewer questioning whether Margaret or Queen Tera ultimately prevailed. This ending amplifies the film’s themes of identity, possession, and the cyclical nature of evil, refusing to provide a neat resolution and letting the horror linger beyond the credits.
