I bought this initially because anything that has "zombie" in the title is something I am interested in seeing, especially around Halloween! "Plague of the Zombies" was sleep-inducing, the only time I saw a zombie was towards the end of the movie and by then, I could care less! "The Mummy's Shroud" spent more time telling the viewer the background of the Egyptian king who became the Mummy then it did in being scary! Both Hammer films in one set but unless you are a Hammer horror fan, I would skip this one entirely. Thankfuly I didn't pay much for it!

Fete of Death
When I ordered this movie a few days ago I didn't realize I had already seen it. The title "Plague of the Zombies" didn't ring any bells. After the fox hunters kidnaped Andre Morell's daughter, though, I remembered that I had already seen it.
This is an excellent Hammer horror movie that few people have ever heard of. I don't why the movie gets so little exposure. It's right up there with the best of Hammer's horror flicks. It has a great gothic ambience, a tight story line, smart direction, and a skillful cast. The zombies may seem cheesy by today's standards, but they still spooked me. If you like horror movies, don't miss this one. There isn't much blood and gore, but if "Plague of the Zombies" proves anything, it's that you don't need them to serve up the chills.

As a devoted fan of gothic horror, I can say that this double feature was a real treat. It contains two beautiful Hammer classics that deal with the living dead. Released in 1966, when Hammer Production was at its peak, both movies make great midnight viewing.
"The Mummy's Shroud" takes place primarily in Cairo, Egypt in 1920. An archaeological team has found the mummified remains of a child who was an Egyptian prince in 2000 B.C. Naturally, there is a curse that begins killing everyone who entered the sacred tomb. What distinguishes this mummy feature from all the others? It is the prince's mummified servant who is brought to life and kills. Some of the deaths are quite gruesome, especially that of the man who is thrown onto his bed, wrapped up in his sheets, and tossed out the window - quite heart pounding. The shroud that was stolen from the mummified prince must be found; only it can stop the violence.
"The Plague of the Zombies" is set in the English countryside of the 1800s. It is action packed from beginning to end and has a high body count. At least twelve villagers have died under mysterious circumstances when a doctor arrives to investigate a plague. Upon further investigation, it is learned that their graves are empty. How and why have the dead risen? There is a conspiracy involving a rich man who controls the village and the evil young men who are living with him. Blood sacrifices, voodoo rituals, and an abandoned mine play important roles in this creepy, atmospheric gothic horror. I only wish Hammer Production had made more zombie features as they did with the vampire, mummy, and Frankenstein monster.
This DVD is highly recommended for fans of gothic horror, Hammer films, and the living dead. "The Mummy's Shroud" and "The Plague of the Zombies" are perfect together, especially since they were both produced by Anthony Nelson-Keys and directed by John Gilling.

Got mummys shroud/Plague of zombies from the UK.
With the Plague of the Zombies if one doesn't mind the voodoo references
then its an excellent film very lively. Andre Morell gives a great performanceas as Sir James Forbes.
Of Hammers mummy films The Mummys shroud is one of the best.

I haven't been able to see "The Mummy's Shroud" but I have seen "The Plague of the Zombies." It is an innovative and entertaining zombie film. A series of mysterious deaths and some strange activities in the old abandoned mines outside of town are all tied together in an insidious plot. Can the hero save the town and his headstrong daughter?
Fans of "The Evil Dead" movies will notice some shots that seem very familiar as the dead rise from their graves.
