Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971)

Directed by Seth Holt

Aside from a few decent scenes with lots of heavy atmosphere this is a fairly dull murder mystery plot.  It's essentially a vehicle for Valerie Leon to lend her *ahem* attributes.  Interestingly enough, she had been one of the actresses considered to play Vampirella before that project folded and Hammer Studios along with it.

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

Directed by Terence Fisher

One of the better Hammer films with some very cool horror type scenes.  This Dr. Frankenstein is truly irredeemably evil and doesn't shy away from all sort of heinous acts.  Veronica Carlson plays only a very peripheral character compared to her part in Dracula Has Risen from The Grave.  Her only service to the story seems to be as a victim of Frankenstein's brutality.
