The Mummy (1932)

2024-10-07

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST HAS RETURNED! That means a horror movie discussion every weekday all October long and we often like to do classic film selections on Mondays. For Halloween this month, each weekday has a particular theme and every Monday is UNIVERSAL MONSTER MONDAYS! The iconic Universal Monster characters that have been the face of a studio for generations. Today we hit the strange romantic horror of the 1932 film “THE MUMMY” directed by Karl Freund and starring the legendary Boris Karloff and Zita Johann. Some thieves from the British Museum are excavating in Egypt when they happen upon a scroll that resurrects an ancient sorcerer named Imhotep who was wrapped and buried alive over three thousand years ago. Ten years later Imhotep is a dusty player in the ancient artifacts business and there’s a slinky, half Egyptian hottie with uneven plucked eyebrows walking around that really reminds him of his old girlfriend. Will love conquer across time or will the British Empire cockblock what is fated to be? Who knew Egyptians were such mystical people? This is a very informative documentary.
