Plot[edit]

In ancient times, Aztec warrior Popoca (Angel Di Stefani) is buried alive after being caught having an affair with the temple maiden Xochitl (Rosita Arenas), who is put to death for her sin. Popoca must forever guard the tomb within the Great Pyramid of Yucatán where his lover's remains and the treasures of the Aztec are kept.

In the present day, Dr. Eduardo Almada (Ramon Gay) decides to experiment with hypnotic regression on his fiancée Flor Sepúlveda (Rosita Arenas in a dual role). Through hypnosis, Eduardo discovers that Flor is in fact a reincarnation of Xochitl, and uses her past memories to find the Aztec tomb of Popoca.

The explorers steal a gold breastplate from the tomb, awakening the sleeping mummy, who pursues them endlessly trying to reclaim the stolen artifacts. The group flees to Mexico City with Popoca in pursuit. Meanwhile, Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castañeda), one of Almada's colleagues who is also a master criminal known as The Bat, discovers the existence of the treasure and sends his thugs after Dr. Almada and Flor in order to retrieve the golden breastplate, which contains a key to the great Aztec treasure. Krupp's men converge on Flor's house in order to retrieve the treasure and run afoul of the mummy.

The mummy retrieves his stolen items and returns with them to his tomb, taking his beloved Flor (Xochitl) with him as a prisoner. Dr. Krupp is captured by the police and taken to prison. In the end, the scientists return to the pyramid and battle the mummy, holding him at bay with a crucifix. The leader of the expedition, Dr. Sepulveda (Jorge Mondragón) sacrifices his life to destroy the mummy with dynamite, collapsing the tomb onto the both of them. Flor is released from the hold her past held on her. The story is continued in the two sequels that followed, The Curse of the Aztec Mummy and The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy, both also filmed in 1957.^[2]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Development for La Momia Azteca began in early 1957.At this point in Mexican cinema, there was a wide range of films being released that were similar in plots to the old Universal Pictures horror movies, but differed enough to avoid a lawsuit from Universal.^[7] Variations on Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and other classic monsters, were especially popular with Mexican audiences. So it is not surprising that Guillermo Calderon and Alfredo Salazar chose a topic similar to Universal's films The Mummy, The Mummy's Hand and its sequels.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Filming[edit]

La Momia Azteca was filmed in Mexico City, Mexico in 1957 in Estudios CLASA studio, along with its two sequels shot back-to-back.^[2]
