The Mummy's Curse

Season 1 · May 14, 1977 · 30m

In this episode we investigate the "Mummy's Curse" or the supposed curse that struck the members of the Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter expedition that discovered and then entered the tomb of Egyptian King Tutankhamen in 1922. The validity of this curse is investigated to see if it was responsible for the several mysterious deaths, including that of Lord Carnarvon himself. Was there a real curse on the tomb or were the events that happened merely a strange mix of ancient mold and coincidence? Did the boy king reach out from the grave to punish the intruders who disturbed his eternal rest and his journey to the afterlife?

Synopsis

In Search of... is a TV series that was broadcast weekly from 1977 to 1982, devoted to mysterious phenomena. It was created after the success of three one-hour TV documentaries produced by creator Alan Landsburg: In Search of Ancient Astronauts in 1973, In Search of Ancient Mysteries and The Outer Space Connection, both in 1975. All three featured narration by Rod Serling, who was the initial choice to host the spin-off show. After Serling's death, Leonard Nimoy was selected to be the host.
