Editorial Reviews

The "re-imagining" of Universal's classic monster in the recent Mummy films featuring Brendan Fraser has piqued interest in the originals, and this two-disc set collects the five films made between 1932 and 1945. Actually, Universal had two separate and distinct Mummy characters. The first, Im-Ho-Tep, was played by Boris Karloff in The Mummy (1932), a deliberately paced but atmospheric chiller that soft-pedaled the gauzy wrappings and murders in favor of pulpy melodrama with occult trappings. Despite being extremely dated, it's an extraordinarily powerful little film still capable of raising goosebumps. Universal's best-remembered Mummy was Kharis, who shuffled and strangled his way through four '40s B-pictures much beloved for their top-drawer casts (featuring such genre icons as Lon Chaney Jr., John Carradine, George Zucco, and Turhan Bey), exotic settings, and memorable musical scores. Former cowboy star Tom Tyler plays Kharis in The Mummy's Hand (1940), which unfolds breezily and also stars Dick Foran, Wallace Ford, and Peggy Moran. Some of these same characters return in The Mummy's Tomb (1942), in which the supposedly incinerated Kharis makes an unexpected comeback and finishes the job he began in the previous film: annihilating those who defiled the tomb of his erstwhile beloved, the Princess Ananka. The Princess herself appears -- reincarnated, of course -- in the shapely form of former big-band singer Ramsay Ames in The Mummy's Ghost (1944). The indestructible Kharis -- now played by Lon Chaney Jr. -- is submerged in a Louisiana bayou at film's end, only to pop up in The Mummy's Curse (1945), the fourth and weakest film in the Kharis series. Their obvious budgetary limitations and occasional plot inanities notwithstanding, Universal's Mummy movies are terrific fun and will make worthy additions to the other "Legacy" collections.
