Directed by Tom Kennedy, 1982
A green fungus with a potent, acidic effect is said to have been responsible for the death of Tutankhamen. The premise is that the Egyptians buried an alien in the tomb with the young king after he had defended himself against them with unusual might. A professor in America is given the task of examining the sarcophagus and unwittingly revives the alien inside by taking x-rays. Exactly why the alien was preserved through mummification remains a mystery. Anyway, some toad at the university goes and steals five diamond-like spheres from the side of the box and gives them away and tries to sell them. The alien is therefore forced to go in search of each one so he can get the hell out of there and travel back to his own planet or wherever the fuck he comes from. Alas, his popularity plummets overnight as a few deaths and an amputated hand ensue due to the green fungus infected them and also the sheer might of this being. The professor ends up taking a bullet for the misunderstood time traveller who then decides to take him with him.
Starring Ben Murphy as Prof. Douglas McCadden
