On this day, December 11, 1981, the horror film Dawn of the Mummy premiered in theaters. Directed by Frank Agrama, the movie blended classic mummy lore with a slasher twist, delivering a gruesome tale of undead terror.

Set in Egypt, the story follows a group of fashion models who unwittingly awaken an ancient mummy and his zombie-like followers while on a photoshoot in a cursed tomb. With a modest budget of $500,000, Dawn of the Mummy became a cult favorite among fans of campy, low-budget horror for its creative gore effects and atmospheric setting.
