Pharaoh's Curse [Original Score] (1957)

Pharaoh's Curse (1957) is a low‑budget American horror film directed by Lee Sholem, featuring a cast that includes Ziva Rodann, Alvaro Guillot, Ben Wright, Diane Brewster, George N. Neise, Mark Dana, and Terence De Marney. Shot in six days in California's Death Valley, the film uses the desert to stand in for Egypt and showcases Sholem's meticulous attention to detail. The story departs from typical mummy tropes by introducing a vampiric monster and a series of supernatural events, while the cinematography and set design create an atmosphere of isolation and claustrophobia. Les Baxter’s score, which includes a jazz track by Tony Martinez, complements the film’s eerie tone. The soundtrack features tracks such as Main Title (00:00), On the Way (01:36), Strange Events (03:03), The Prophecy (06:12), Across the Desert (07:47), Inside the Ruins (10:40), Discovery & Destruction (13:32), End Titles (17:03), Tony Martinez & his Mambo Combo (17:36), Trailer Score (20:16), and Suite (21:13).
