Museum Catalog Note
This is "La tumba es mi casa" (The Grave Is My House) by Clark Carrados, a 1975 Spanish-language terror/horror serial. The story opens with a graveside funeral, where Professor Van Hartzen and his assistant Nichal exhume a recently buried young woman named Pamela Rittle. Using injections and electrical apparatus, Van Hartzen revives her—her heartbeat initially registers below one beat per minute on an oscillometer before gradually increasing. Days later, Pamela appears at a London hotel, where she encounters her former schoolmate Laura Field; Pamela behaves with eerie emotional detachment, claiming "the grave is my house." Meanwhile, private investigators Laura and Neil Drummond are separately assigned surveillance—Laura watching Latimer Woodley, a ruthless businessman. Pamela becomes Woodley's escort, steals important documents from him, and leaves his suite with an unsettling mechanical gait. The narrative emphasizes Pamela's pallor, expressionlessness, and otherworldly qualities following her resurrection.
