THE MUMMY (1932)

Moody, atmospheric, and one of the great, classic horror films of the 1930's! ImHoTep, a 3,700-year-old Egyptian High Priest, buried alive for an act of sacrilege, comes back to life in modern Cairo, seeking the reincarnation of his lost love! The definitive film in Universal's Mummy series, this is the only one to present the title creature as a three-dimensional character. Boris Karloff creates a distinctive, macabre characterization, aided once again by yet another of Jack Pierce's brilliant makeup conceptions! Musical cues by several composers are commingled to create a grim, haunting score!
