The Mummy

In reality, Lord Carnarvon had been bitten by a mosquito while he was in Egypt—the wound had almost healed, but he accidentally cut it while shaving. Blood poisoning set in, leading to His Lordship’s eventual demise. The curse seemed to strike again in 1924 when another financier—George Jay Gold—appeared to die in mysterious circumstances after visiting the tomb. There were also rumors that many of those who had been present at the opening of the tomb, including Carter himself, had met bizarre and untimely ends. In reality, only eight of the 58 people who had been present at the opening died shortly afterward, and all of those were from natural causes. Carter himself lived until 1939, when he died of lymphoma at the age of 64. Nevertheless, the idea of a curse, inextricably linked to the notion of a bandaged cadaver rising from its tomb, had become indelibly imprinted on popular imagination.
