Episode #394 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth unwrap the bandaged mysteries of mummy-themed music from across gaming history. From tragic cursed souls seeking companionship to ancient guardians protecting their tombs, this episode explores how composers balance Middle Eastern instrumentation, horror atmospheres, and adventure energy to bring these undead creatures to musical life.

This spooky October episode showcases the incredible versatility of mummy representation in video game music, featuring everything from playful puzzle themes and gothic platformer soundtracks to emotionally devastating character ballads and epic orchestral arrangements.
