The Mummy’s Curse (1944)
It’s time for another Mummy Monday review! Released the same year as The Mummy’s Ghost, this movie takes place 25 years later in a (the?) bayou. Didn’t the last movie have Kharis walk into a Massachusetts swamp? Doesn’t a 25 year time jump a few movies after a 30 year jump mean this movie takes place around the year 1999? It’s best not to ask too many questions, you’ll only get your hopes up.

The Mummy’s Ghost (1944)
Welcome back to Mummy Monday! This week we’re talking about The Mummy’s Ghost, a sequel set right after The Mummy’s Tomb that doesn’t feature any ghosts. But the Mummy is back! Somehow! Again, don’t question it.

The Mummy’s Tomb (1942)
Mummy Monday is back at it again, this time with a direct continuation of The Mummy’s Hand! Set 30 years after the previous movie (but filmed 2 years later), we see the return of several characters made up to look much older. And of course, the return of Kharis, this time played by Lon Chaney Jr., who is more known for playing the Wolf Man. And much later a mummified werewolf in Face of the Screaming Werewolf. Why not?

The Mummy’s Hand (1940)
Mummy Monday continues! Imhotep is dead, long live Kharis! This version of the Mummy is, outside of Boris Karloff staring into your soul as Ardath Bey, what most people picture when they think of the iconic monster: wrapped in bandages the whole time and shambling slower than a zombie. Seriously, if it wasn’t for the element of surprise and his enhanced strength, this mummy wouldn’t be that much of a threat, but I digress.

Mummy Mondays have officially begun! I’ll be covering all the movies of the noteworthy mummy franchises, which includes 6 classic Universal movies, 4 from Hammer films, the Brendan Fraser trilogy, the Scorpion King pentalogy (oh yes, there are 5 of those), and finally the Tom Cruise one that’s DEFINITELY not getting a cinematic universe. So without further ado, let’s begin!
