Time Walker / USA / 1982

While exploring the ruins of King Tut’s tomb, professor Douglas McCadden stumbles across a pristine sarcophagus, and promptly transports the find back to his lab in California. After cracking open the coffin, and foolishly exposing the decaying inhabitant to a hefty dose of radiation, McCadden notices an unearthly green mold growing on the mummy’s shroud—a mold capable of rapidly consuming the flesh of anyone touching it. As the good professor attempts to get to the bottom of the mystery of the mold, the celebrated corpse disappears, a string of grisly murders begins, and it turns out that the supposed mummy might just be an ancient alien trying to find its way home.

Although marketed as a science-fiction adventure story, but for the fact that the main antagonist here may be of the supernatural variety, this is a textbook ’80s horror flick—full of party-hungry college kids, inexplicable scenes of awkward amour, callous authority figures, and goofy cops. Not frightening for a moment, of course, but consistently entertaining, and occasionally hilarious.
