Some of the Pentax DSLRs can handle (some of the) old Pentax lenses. You might want to do a google search on that - here's an article to help you get started

All Pentax digital SLR bodies are compatible with older Pentax film lenses (FA, F and A mounts) as well as newer lenses (DA and DA* mounts).

If you still have the film camera, you might want to lookup the manufacturer of the camera, some of those old film cameras are still worth some decent money. Vintage visuals is probably a good place to start to with that (
