The Cush never turned down Blood From The Mummy's Tomb and he actually filmed some sequences from it, there are some studio pics still in existence of him in the studio but I don't think any actual footage survives. He had to pull out when his wife either fell ill or died, I can't remember which.
I think Pete Walker is a very underrated director and all of his films (that I've seen at least) have something to recommend them. My fave is House of Mortal Sin, with Frightmare coming a close second. Sheila Keith must be one of the most menacing British actresses ever, and is someone who fully deserves far more recognition than she gets. While The Comeback loses itself a bit, the first murder is as good as anything else that Walker ever did.
