History[]
The Mapleton Cemetery was a cemetery located in the city of Mapleton in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. In 1970, an Egyptian high priest of Karnak named Mehemet Bey smuggled the mummy of Kharis into the United States and took up residence as the caretaker of the Mapleton Cemetery. He used this as his base of operations in order to enact a curse against the families who lived nearby that were responsible for desecrating the tomb of the princess Ananka.
From a back room in the caretaker's cottage, Mehemet Bey would use the fluid distilled from brewing Tana leaves to revive Kharis and send him out to kill members of the Banning family. During this affair, Mehemet developed an interest in Isobel Evans - the fiancé of John Banning and had Kharis abduct her for his own selfish ends and bring her back to the cemetery.
A posse of locals confronted Mehemet Bey about the recent string of murders that Kharis had committed. Mehemet was shot and killed by the town sheriff and Isobel was rescued.
