The Curse of the Aztec Mummy (Spanish: La Maldición de la Momia Azteca) is a 1957 Mexican horror film directed by Rafael Portillo. It is the second film in the Aztec Mummy series which began with The Aztec Mummy (Spanish title:La Momia Azteca) which was released earlier that year.

Plot

The plot is continued from the first film in the series, The Aztec Mummy. The evil Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castañeda) escapes from the police with the aid of his gang, and once again tries to get possession of the Aztec princess Xochitl's gold breastplate and bracelet by hypnotizing her current reincarnation, Flor Sepulveda, to get her to reveal the location of Xochitl's tomb. Confusion reigns as Krupp and his thugs are opposed by Flor's fiance Dr. Almada, his mild-mannered assistant Pinacate, and a mysterious masked superhero called The Angel. It turns out their bookish friend Pinacate has been the man behind the Angel's mask. Dr. Krupp kidnaps Flor, Dr. Almada and the Angel, and tries to force Almada to translate the hierogyphics on the breastplate which will reveal the secret location of the Aztec treasure. He finally meets his match, however, when Popoca, the warrior mummy who guards Xochitl's tomb, bursts into the mad doctor's lab, kills his thugs and throws the screaming Dr. Krupp into a pit filled with live snakes. Popoca takes his stolen artifacts and stumbles off back to his tomb. Flor and Dr. Almada go off to get married. This film's plot led into the third film in the trilogy, The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy.
