Dr. Quest is invited to Egypt by a duplicitous would-be dictator named Ahmed, who claims to have unearthed the legendary lost city of Ghiva. What starts out as a standard seek-and-verify mission becomes a horrifying experience for Quest's son, Jonny, when a sacred mummy statue apparently comes to life. The musical score by Hoyt Curtin is especially impressive this time out. "The Curse of the Anubis" made its first network appearance on October 2, 1964. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
