"The Mummy's Ghost"

 

The Mummy's Ghost (1944)

Director: Reginald Le Borg

Landis says: "The mummy movies are a direct result of the opening of King Tut's tomb, which in the 1920s was such a cultural event. By the time of The Mummy's Ghost, the mummy is no longer the lead character. It's usually an evil priest and the mummy's just kind of a killing machine. What's frightening about the mummy at this stage, what's scary is that they don't stop. They're relentless."
