About this episode
The episode reviews the 1932 film 'The Mummy' and discusses its significance in the horror genre.
This week we open up a new sarcophagus, but really a new film review cask set all around the world of Mummy films and up first we discuss the one that started it all with The Mummy from 1932. Journey with us as we discuss this original Universal Monster and the return of Boris Karloff. We dive into the interesting cast of characters and if this is really just reheated Dracula. Is this a worthy first installment to the Mummy franchise or is it the weakest of all the monster movies? So pour some rye, grab your Scroll of Thoth, and get ready to summon Imhotep. Cheers!
