The Mummy (1932), The Mummy's Hand (1940), The Mummy's Tomb (1942), The Mummy's Ghost (1944), and The Mummy's Curse (1944).
In this episode, we go back the Universal Classics and take on one of the most unusual of the classic monsters, the Mummy. It's probably one of the best costumes and memorable character, but never seems to reach the same level of notoriety as his fellow monsters. But strangely enough, it is the one Universal monster to have more films devoted to his character alone, without going into the Monster Rally films where they had more than one monster in the picture.
Here we dig up some facts as well as our own thoughts on the original 1932 film starring the one and only Boris Karloff, as well as the 4 other Mummy films that came out almost a decade later, but with much smaller budgets. These sequels started with a different mummy character and had a continuing storyline between the 4 films, or at least tried.
Films mentioned in this episode:
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955), The Black Cat (1941), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Dawn of the Mummy (1981), Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), Friday the 13th (1980), Green Hell (1940), Halloween (1978), House of Frankenstein (1944), Jason X (2001), Monster Squad (1987), The Mummy (1932), The Mummy (1999), The Mummy Curse (1944), The Mummy’s Ghost (1942), The Mummy’s Hand (1940), The Mummy’s Tomb (1942), Son of Frankenstein (1939)
