(1933)

When a notorious Egyptologist (Karloff) becomes terminally ill, he
arranges for a bizarre post-mortem ceremony. Through the magic
of an ancient amulet
called the Eternal Light, he lays plans in hopes of being brought back
from the netherworld.
Scheming servants, distant relatives, and a less-than-pious man of
the cloth conspire to find the charm, reputed to be worth a princely
price...until
the dead return!

and Ernst Thesiger
