The Mummy (1932).......2007-06-21

NOTE: This is only a review of the first original film.

Directed by German cinematographer Freund, who lensed Lang's "Metropolis," this eerie, dread-inducing monster movie was a triumph for all involved in the 1932 production, and remains totally absorbing today. Karloff had become a sensation with "Frankenstein" the year before, and his role as Im-Ho-Tep merely solidified the lisping English actor's fame. Bringing pathos and humanity to his portrayal of the undead cleric, Karloff is mesmerizing throughout--especially in an unforgettably horrifying flashback scene--and striking stage actress Johann holds her own as his slinky object of desire. Made by the same team as "Dracula," this brilliant horror flick has aged as well as its titular character.

A great collection.......2007-04-30

I love these old Universal Classic Horror movies, Frankenstein being my number one pick, followed by The Mummy and Creature from the Black Lagoon, but I love them all. The Mummy is a favorite because he was featured in so many movies, some great B-movie material. The Mummy's Hand was a great sequel and probably the most fun. I dont see how anyone can think it was bad. But again I saw that before I did the original mummy when I was six years old. Great stuff people, you will enjoy it.

Not a bad collection.......2007-03-12

This collection of the Legacy Collection "The Mummy" isn't all that bad, but, not all the great either. However, the classics are all here and truly very well package. If you choose to get this set of the Legacy, get it for the "The Mummy" it self. TV channels such as AMC and TMC rarely play it (even when Halloween is around)..so, just get it for that alone all the other Mummy movies are somewhat very good and im a happy with this great collection of movies.

THE FIRST IS STILL THE BEST! KARLOFF IS KING! PIERCE IS THE MASTER.......2007-02-22

The Mummy legacy is a mixed bag. It has the original Karloff classic and some very inferior quasi-sequels. The amount of effort and creativity Jack Pierce used to create the Mummy make up which is only seen for a few seconds is amazing! The best looking Mummy ever! as all of Master Pierce's creations! Even though the other four Mummy movies can be reviewed as silly,I still love them all!

Old original Mummy movies..................2007-01-23

Some horror from the past, great to relive some of the old movies from yester-year, Boris Karloff was great back in the day. Another great flick from the past.

Mummy's Hand Review.......2007-04-22

Wallace Ford ruins this movie. He plays a comedic role as Babe and is featured so heavily, he turns Mummy's Hand into a bad comedy rather than a scary movie. One of the worse entries in the Universal horror frachise.

good old classic double feature.......2005-08-12

Two of the old classics on one disc. its the way the color movies should be.

SOLID "B" MOVIE ENTERTAINMENT.......2004-11-09

The Mummy's Hand is the first sequel to the Mummy although it would not appear until eight years after the original. It opens by re-using footage from the original with just a few scenes re-shot showing Kharis stealing tana leaves replacing the scene where Karloff as Imhotep steals the scroll of Thoth.

We are introduced to Horror vet George Zucco as Andoheb, high Priest of Karnak and guardian of the secret tomb of princess Ananka. We are shown how he can control the mummy Kharis by giving him a fluid made of tana leaves.

Cut to Dick Foran as "Steve Banning", a down on his luck archeologist and his partner Babe Jensen. Banning makes a discovery of the location of Ananka's tomb and puts together an expedition to uncover the tomb, funded by American Magician The Great Solvini and his daugher Marta.

Soon, Andoheb sets Kharis on their trail to kill them after they discover Ananka's tomb.

The Mummy's Hand, and the later three sequels would all be "B" movies, re-using much stock footage. There isn't really much of a plot here other than to give Zucco a change to let the Mummy (played by western star Tim Tyler) run wild...well, shamble wild. But hey..the second sycle of Horror was running wild at Universal so they were cranking these out fast.

Foran is the usual handsome hero and Wallace Ford as Babe jenson provides the usual sidekick comic relief so common in these movies.

Certainly no classic and director Christy Cabanne was NO Karl Freund...but it's still a fun movie and a quick watch at just over 60 minutes.

"The Mummy's Tomb" is a direct sequel to the "Mummy's Hand and takes place 30 years later. Almost the entire first 12 minutes of the movie uses footage from the Mummy's Hand as Steve Banning, now an old man, relates the events of discovering Anankas tomb and fighting the Mummy Kharis, as he speaks to his son, John and his fiancee Isabel.

Universal was never above trying to save a few bucks by re-using footage from previous films.

We also find out that the High Priest Andoheb (George Zucco) and the mummy were not killed and that Andoheb is passing on guardianship of Kharis on to Mehemet Bey (Turhan Bey). He is to go to America and destroy Banning and his family for desecrating Ananka's tomb.

We now cut to Mapleton, MA, as Kharis begins his nighly rampages of revenge. Wallace Ford Reprises his role as "Babe" although strangely his last name is changed from Jensen to Hanson.

The other big change is Lon Chaney Jr. taking over in his first go as the Mummy, Kharis. He cuts a more imposing figure than Tim Tyler and the makeup was far superior as he appeared much more decrepit can decayed.

Overall it was a refreshing change to move the setting to the States where everyday people were encountering the Mummy in a terror.

1940's serial mummy films come to DVD!.......2003-04-16

Having already purchased these films on VHS, plus "The Mummy Collection" laserdisc box set, I was eager for a DVD release of "The Mummy's Hand" starring Tom Tyler, George Zucco and Peggy Moran (who, very sadly, passed away recently) and "The Mummy's Tomb" starring George Zucco, Turban Bey, Lon Chaney, Jr. and Elyse Knox (Mark Harmon's Mom). Apparently, according to other reviews here, in the first run of this DVD there was a formatting error, with the two features not in the correct order on the DVD top menu or title page. However, it must have been corrected in subsequent runs because when I put the DVD in the player the Title Menu displayed the films correctly and defaulted to the "The Mummy's Hand" (1940) first on the left and displaying "The Mummy's Tomb" (1942), to be watched second, on the right of the screen. Also, I had no problem getting back to the title page menu to watch the second film (and sequel) "The Mummy's Tomb. I used the "Top menu" (or title button some players) button from the menu page with my Toshiba player.
I thought the prints used were in good condition with "Hand" showing a little more wear than "Tomb". The dvd prints seemed almost identical to the Laserdisc edition. Maybe some small further scratches on "The Mummy's Hand", but the film was over 60 years old when the transfer was done (2001) and Universal did a commendable job. There was a scene from "The Mummy's Tomb" that was censored in 1942 and deleted from some theatrical and TV prints as well as the 1993 VHS edition release. Over a minute of the film, where the elderly character actress and Universal player Mary Gordon is strangled by the mummy (Lon Chaney, Jr.) was cut. It was restored to the 1994 Laserdisc box set edition and is included here. The print of "Tomb" was also cleaned up and is in very good condition. Sound restoration work is obvious on the audio tracks of both films. Dolby digital two channel mono English and Spanish soundtracks are included for both movies, plus English and French Subtitles. While light on extras, the dvd is a lot of fun and I am glad these films are available again for kids of all ages.

Horror Clasic's.......2003-03-08

The Mummy's Tomb, simply put it's more then a classic. Dick Foran, as Steve Banning, wonderful actor, and not forgetting Mr. George Zucco, also, of Sherlock Holmes, 1940's famed classic's. Mummy's Hand, a stand up movie in it's own right. Should I lose this DVD version I now own, I would purchase another! If your a true horror classic fan then this is a movie for you. I love it...
