Reviews: The Mummy, Island of Lost Souls, The Black Cat
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 13, 2023
There’s something deeply prescient about The Mummy beginning with an archeological expedition for The British Museum. If it’s not evident from the outset, the film is firmly planted in the reality of 1922 when Howard Carter famously discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun. This is only one hi read more
Book Review: THE PASSION OF THE MUMMY
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Jul 12, 2021
Frank Dello Stritto's THE PASSION OF THE MUMMY is in the same vein as his earlier works, A WEREWOLF REMEMBERS and CARL DENHAM'S GIANT MONSTERS. All three deal with the lives and adventures of famous classic horror film characters. In the earlier two volumes Frank revealed the "actual" exploits read more
The Mummy Strikes (1943, Izzy Sparber)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 3, 2018
If it weren’t for the needlessly racist finish from Lois (Joan Alexander), The Mummy Strikes would probably get a pass. Maybe. The action isn’t particularly impressive, but the Egyptian history lesson is pretty cool. Even if it’s all about young King Tush. Jay Morton’s script is (mostly) strong–it, read more

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Oct 7, 2016
Originally published October 20th, 2012 Got another review for you today and another from the Universal classic monsters series. A bit of back story before we begin: I love the remake of The Mummy, hell I like The Mummy 2 (and I stop there ignoring 3). I didn’t realize until several years read more
Snack-sized Film Reviews: "Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick" and "Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy"
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Dec 23, 2015
Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick (1952). This Paramount Pictures musical was a last attempt to turn popular singer Dinah Shore into a movie star. She had appeared previously in films with Danny Kaye (Up in Arms) and Randolph Scott (Belle of the Yukon). This one pairs her with Alan Young, who was t read more

The Mummy (1932, Karl Freund)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 18, 2014
The Mummy is a strange horror movie. While there’s a definite villain–a monster–in Boris Karloff’s resurrected mummy, he poses a danger specifically to only one cast member–Zita Johann. She’s the reincarnation of his lost love and her exact importance to him isn’t clear until the last read more
The Mummy (1932) (2)
The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Oct 4, 2013
I’m not sure if I ever saw 1932’s The Mummy as a small child. I seem to have more recollection with the CGI action/adventure version of the film that came out in the late ‘90s. And the images in my mind of an old black and white mummy wrapped head to toe in ragged gauze shuffling through dim read more

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Aug 21, 2013
Having already made The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and Horror of Dracula (1958), Hammer Films next turned its attention to reinventing the story of a different horror icon, the stiff-armed Egyptian creature known as The Mummy (1959). This adaptation, like the best of the Hammer horrors, stars Pete read more

Classic Films in Focus: THE MUMMY'S HAND (1940)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 16, 2012
Universal produced a steady stream of horror movies during the 1930s and 40s, and not all of them reached the artistic heights of Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein (1931). Among the lesser pictures of the era we have entries like The Mummy’s Hand (1940), director Christy Cabanne’s contrib read more
