Mummies in Movies
Lon Chaney, Jr. as Kharis in the film The Mummy's Ghost (1944)
Mummies are commonly featured in horror genres as an
undead creature. During the 20th century,
horror films and
other mass media popularized the notion of a curse associated with
mummies. Films representing such a belief include the 1932 film
The Mummy
starring
Boris Karloff as Imhotep; four subsequent 1940's Universal Studios
mummy films which featured a mummy named Kharis, who also was the title
mummy in a 1959 Hammer remake of The Mummy's Hand and The Mummy's Tomb;
and a remake of the original film that was released in 1999. The belief in
cursed mummies probably stems in part from the supposed curse on the tomb
of Tutankhamun. ABC's 1979 TV holiday film aired The Halloween That Almost
Wasn't where a mummy from Egypt (Robert Fitch) arrived into Count
Dracula's castle without speaking.
In 1939, The Three Stooges spoofed the discovery of King Tutankhamun with
their short film We Want Our Mummy.
In 1939,
The Three Stooges spoofed the discovery of King Tutankhamun with
their short film We Want Our Mummy.
The 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by archaeologist Howard Carter
brought mummies into the mainstream. Slapstick comedy trio the Three
Stooges exploited the discovery in the short film We Want Our Mummy, in
which they explored the tomb of the midget King Rutentuten (and his Queen,
Hotsy Totsy). A decade later, they were crooked used chariot salesmen in
Mummy's Dummies, in which they ultimately assist a different King
Rootentootin (Vernon Dent) with a toothache.
Mummies have also been prominently featured in comics and
animation, such as Hakushin in the anime series InuYasha, Anal Ho Tep from
Eric Millikin's Fetus-X, N'Kantu, the Living Mummy from
Marvel Comics, and Mumm-Ra from the animated TV series
ThunderCats. A humorous cartoon mummy
was also used as the mascot for General Mills' monster-themed breakfast
cereal Yummy Mummy.
