Last night I watched Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb (which I can never remember the correct name.  I always have to look it up, I always have some combo of Mummy and Tomb but am never right) and it is something I haven’t seen in a few years but sticks in my head.  It isn’t Hammer’s best movie but it does do a good job of capturing the feel.  I first saw it as a kid because I had a Grandmother who loved horror and was nuts for the Universal Monsters.  This gave us a common ground as she had missed the Hammer Gothic stuff what with the adulthood (strange that my adulthood allows for horror movies but then I am painfully immature) so we got to see a lot of them for the first time.  Valerie Leon was my main take away even as a kid because she was gorgeous and I remember at the time wondering if it was weird to think that about someone from the ‘olden days’.  Anyway, the movie is what it is, unless you have the same soft spot for Gothic Horror I do I don’t think you need to rush out and see it.  But it to possess that same glamor that Hammer is famous for and Valerie Leon has it in spades as well.  She was of course a Bond girl as well, among other things but I think this was her only leading role.  What a waste because man she is gorgeous and she handled herself quite well.  And man, seriously, she is beautiful.  And hot as an evil Mummy.  Except kind of not really a Mummy but I don’t want to be pedantic.  The point is she is gorgeous and today I want to fuck Valerie Leon.
