The dead have a way of coming back…
Universal Monster Movie Weekend continues with one of the most haunting figures in the Universal canon: The Mummy!
Ten years after an ancient Egyptian mummy is accidentally resurrected by a mysterious scroll, the man once known as Imhotep (Boris Karloff) walks among the living under the name Ardath Bey. But Imhotep has not returned simply to conquer the world. He has spent centuries searching for the reincarnation of his lost love, and now he believes he has finally found her.
Directed by Karl Freund, the legendary cinematographer of Metropolis, The Mummy trades the gothic castles of Dracula and Frankenstein for ancient curses, Egyptian mythology, and an eerie tale of love that refuses to die. Boris Karloff delivers one of his great horror performances, barely needing the famous mummy makeup once Imhotep emerges from his tomb.
