## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Pyramid shadows lengthen. A single torch flickers on an open sarcophagus.

Three men in pith helmets stand ankle-deep in dust, reading cursive hieroglyphs aloud, before the last one’s throat opens like a zipper.

Fisher’s Hammer Horror rides the flatbed of Universal clichés like a hearse on cobblestones.

**Mood tags**: dread, raw
