aztec mummy-themed horror films produced in mexico include "la momia azteca", which was the first of a trilogy of films produced in 1957 featuring a resurrected aztec warrior named popoca, followed by "the curse of the aztec mummy" and "the robot vs. the aztec mummy". the later film "wrestling women vs. the aztec mummy" (1964) featured a resurrected aztec warrior named tezomoc, and mexican mummies were again featured in "the mummies of guanajuato". unlike the aztec mummies appearing in most american film and television productions, which are typically mummified as part of a ceremonial process similar to egyptian mummies, mexican horror films typically involve the resurrection of naturally desiccated aztec warriors. the 2007 american film "mil mascaras vs. the aztec mummy", starring the aforementioned mexican superstar wrestler mil máscaras, features the ceremonial resurrection of a mummy in a sarcophagus that is more reminiscent of egyptian mummies than aztec ones.
