We're kicking off the spooky season with a return to the Universal monster movies and Boris Karloff in Karl Freund's 1932 version of The Mummy!

Join in as we discuss Karloff the union organizer, the fights between Freund and star Zita Johann, the film's connection to silent film trends, and Imhotep's convoluted scheme.

Plus: What was Imhotep doing for ten years? Why aren't there any classic novels about ancient Egypt? And, most importantly, how could Helen's final outfit be so bad?
