The Mummy (1959)

The evil mummy Kharis has once again been resurrected to exact revenge on those who have disturbed the tomb of the Princess Ananka! In this episode, “The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” unwrap Hammer’s first legitimate remake, 1959’s The Mummy! Join them as they discuss the return of Hammer’s dream team, the distribution deal with Universal International that resulted in Hammer gaining access to Universal’s vaults, all of the borrowed elements from The Mummy (1932), The Mummy’s Hand, and The Mummy’s Tomb, and the subsequent lack of original material. Plus: they also ask the big questions like, can you get a DUI while operating a horse-drawn carriage? If you enjoy this episode, and want to support the show, check out our Patreon!
