On this day, November 1, 1982, the sci-fi horror film Time Walker premiered in theaters. Directed by Tom Kennedy, the film blended science fiction, ancient Egyptian mythology, and horror to deliver a unique cinematic experience.

The story follows the discovery of a mummy in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, which turns out to be an alien with sinister motives. After being exposed to radiation, the creature comes to life, wreaking havoc on a college campus while searching for missing crystals needed to power its spacecraft.

Although Time Walker was met with mixed reviews, it found its audience among fans of campy 80s sci-fi and horror.

Fun Fact: Time Walker was originally titled Being from Another Planet for its VHS release, which better emphasized its sci-fi elements.

Trivia Question: What famous 1980s horror movie also used an ancient Egyptian artifact as a central element in its storyline?
