The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy (also known as The Aztec Mummy vs. The Humanoid Robot) opens in Mexico in 1958. The third in the Aztec Mummy franchise was the only one to reach the U.S. in an English-dubbed version five years later. Though relegated to trashy B-movie status in the states, it remains one of Mexico’s most well-known horror movies.
