I did see Blood from a Mummy's Tomb a couple of years back and was impressed only with Valerie Leon's leonine beauty. But I'll be giving the two 1960s Hammer mummy movies a try over the next few days.
I started to watch blood from a mummy's tomb off TV the other night. I think hands up honest reason was to see Valerie. 15 mins in it was bedtime. Part 2 another night

My experience with it exactly, lol!
I didn't get too interested in the other Hammer Mummys either. I'm having better luck with their pirate movies though (Captain Clegg).
The Curse Of Frankenstein Dracula (still awaiting a decent looking Blu-ray) Curse Of The Werewolf The Mummy Terror Of The Tongs She - not a horror or a particularly good film, but I like it & would love a good looking Blu-ray. Phantom Of The Opera Brides of Dracula Kiss Of The Vampire The Gorgon The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb The Lost Continent.
What's wrong with the current ones ( are they that bad) I keep holding off , too.
Well first we had the BFI restoration, & for some reason they decided that the bright colours we'd seen all these years was wrong (?) so they shoved a lot of cyan/blue into the picture & it made for a very flat dull cool picture. And then the Warner Archive release (a rare Warner mis-fire), where they crushed the blacks in some scenes. It really needs for someone to start again from scratch & do it right.
LIFEFORCE was also more or less influenced by QUATERMASS AND THE PIT.
However, I am really surprised about the similarities of many shots and sequences both in Q&tP and Star Trek's RETURN OF THE ARCHONS !! I think they most have been written and made ca. at the same time ?
As I can't see any similarities through my minds eye, I am intrigued and am interested in how you came to that finding.
I couldn't find screenshots online to make more clear what I mean but compare the mayhem in Archon's "Red Hour" and what happens in Q&tP when people are attacking&killing each other under the influence of the Martian.
