There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Cheryl
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Jerry Warren hatchet job took a Mexican comedy film where Lon Chaney played a werewolf for the last time and added scenes from Attack of the Aztec Mummy and new scenes. Mind numbingly boring thanks to Warren's tinkering (remember the Chaney footage was part of a comedy), the film involves using past life regression to find mummies in an Aztec pyramid, one of which is Chaney, the other is an Aztec mummy thats moving about. The Chaney mummy is revived and goes on the rampage because he's really a werewolf. Incredibly boring film is half over (This runs about an hour) before the mummies show up, and from there its nothing but disjointed scenes of the werewolf and Aztec mummy running about with little real dialog (most of it is either voice overs or clearly filmed later by other people footage of TV news reports). Unless you really need to see all of Chaney's films complete and in in all their cuts you should watch the trailer and move on.

I'm sorry, but I have a totally different opinion on this movie - if you can name it a "movie". If you want to see Lon Chaney Jr in his last Wolf Man theatrical appearance, it's better for you to catch the original version of this film, LA CASA DEL TERROR, Mexico 1959, directed by Gilberto Martinez Solares. As usual, Mr. Warren totally destroyed an excellent film in cutting about one-third, mixing it with elements of a Rafael Portillo mummy film totally unrelated with the other, and (always as usual) putting his name on a film made by others. Not only the original LA CASA DEL TERROR is an excellent film, but the comic elements (with Tin Tan) are well integrated with the horror segments, as it was the case in ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, also with Chaney...

A group of scientists enter a pyramid that has been explored many times and find a monster and a mummy without the use of a single pick-ax or stick of dynamite. They just walk until they find them. True, they had a psychic with them, but she seemed to be as lost as the rest. The mummy and monster are brought back to civilization, where the monster escapes and the mummy turns into a werewolf! Yes, it's another cobbled together mess from Uncle Jerry Warren. This time he slaps together bits of two Mexican monster films and spends about four dollars on some American actors doing some framing scenes. Not as hilarious as Attack of the Mayan Mummy, but it keeps you glued to the screen trying to follow the story. (Spoilers-How can you spoil something already gone bad?) An overweight mummy (a first!) is placed in a dry cleaning machine. When he comes out, he's wearing modern shoes, pants, belt and dress shirt. Oh, yes, and he's a werewolf on top of being an overweight mummy. The other monster, woman in his arms, knocks out two well built men who come upon him, without putting down the woman. Three men steal the mummy the night when it's about to be shown to the public. They drive away, followed by the police. The police catch up with the car, then takes the next off ramp, letting the bad guys get away. I'm surprised that they didn't have poor Lon Chaney (the overweight mummy) sitting in the back seat! A real mess. My rating: 2 out of 10. BAD.

This movie presents about eight minutes of scenes with Lon Chaney Jr. and the rest its a long mexican movie pasted with another werewolf movie... and, what about the logic, and the continuity? The best scene of this stuff its at the beginning, the scientist and the mesmerized woman. But, I strongly recommend this movie to all Chaney Jr. fans!
