"The Journal of Classic British Horror Films" has officially released its 24th issue. The theme for this issue is Hammer Studios' Mummy series, and if it's anything like the last few issues, be prepared to unroll the King Tut-sized papyrus and unravel a tomb full 'o mummy wrappings that will keep you reading for days. Richard Klemensen's faithful and loving tribute to those great and classic Hammer horror films is unprecedented and, as far as I'm concerned, unequalled. Here are the highlights for the issue:
