Meanwhile, there's even more spookiness over on ITV1 as they screen The Mummy.

The action-horror was released in 2017 and stars movie legend Tom Cruise as well as Sofia Boutella and Russell Crowe.

A synopsis reads: "An ancient Egyptian princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension."

Despite its stellar lineup, critic reviews were unfavourable and it managed a jaw-dropping 15% Rotten Tomatoes score.
