The Mummy (1932) | A Fright Night Special

Welcome to the 13 Nights of Frights, where every night leading up to Hallow's Eve will be host to reviews of the movies that haunt your dreams! Whether you jump with fear, drop your jaw in horror, or roll on the floor laughing, these movies bring every flavor of fright you can imagine. The 1932 rendition of the Mummy (perhaps more popularly known as the Boris Karloff Mummy), is a stand out from the age of black and white horror films, but given the existence of the more widely accepted 1999 Mummy movie, as well as the mountain of other horror movies to be made in the following years, what makes this experience special? How did it make a name for itself, and mummies in the horror genre? Music used made by Kevin Macleod at http://incompetech.com/
