With Halloween fast approaching, there is no better time to revisit the classics of our beloved genre, especially those from Hammer Studios which inspired countless films and filmmakers that we all love. During the 1950's though the 1970's Hammer delivered some of the greatest films in horror history, including DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS, THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN and, of course, THE MUMMY. Now, torn from the tomb, THE MUMMY is coming to Region 2 DVD and Blu-Ray in a 3-Disc Double Play on October 14th, and we've got a clip from the re-release of the Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee-starring classic for you to check out below!

But Isobel Banning (Yvonne Furneaux), wife of one of the explorers (Cushing), resembles the beautiful princess, forcing the speechless and tormented monster to defy commands and abduct Isobel to an unknown fate…
