The Mummy (1932)

I grew up with the Universal classics, but save for the admittedly skin-crawling opener, the Karloff version of The Mummy is about as dry as a sand sundae.

I love the old-school swashbuckler meets summer blockbuster formula of the remake.

It's actually my favorite of the Universal Monsters. I like this version too though.

The 1932 version is just plain creepy.

Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.

hear, hear. well i hadn't seen this since i was a kid and forgot what daring scenes it has, it implied suitable for all ages and sort of comedy like, not like the 1930s one starring boris karloff. the titles are rolling five minutes into the movie. strange watching the hanging part then become jolly company and acting different with environment, i don't think i ever saw the sequels as kid. check out the weird done grow led into the camera. this has strayed pretty far from the 1930s movie story, messy, special effects, and doesn't have the mystique, and unlike other mummy versions i've seen this includes humour, we can't have that 😠 . i wonder why the little guy didn't run before the mummy made him his slave. you never see any grotesque scenes, this was obviously suited for a wide range of age groups, never checked out the sequels, as this aired again i had planned to watch it but found it so grotesque it put me off. my favorite version remains karloff's from the 1930s. so what's the title of these mummy movies in england?

dont need solar energy,
close to your high voltage steam beam,
technology seem frail and pointless,
as youre a natural livin special effect,
no other creation comes close in reach,
and your solar energy is too much for me.
