The Mummy Shuffle,
By
This review is from: Mummy's Tomb [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Universal monsters never perish as Kharis rises from the dead (in Massachusetts, of all places) and kills the surviving characters from "The Mummy's Hand." Despite George Robinson's moody camera work and the sinister presence of Turhan Bey, "The Mummy's Tomb" (1942) takes cost-cutting horror to a new low. Lon Chaney Jr. does his best with the Ace bandages, but cannot overcome Harold Young's bland direction and recycled footage from earlier Universal productions - including mismatched shots of the torch-bearing villagers in "Frankenstein." Though Kharis went down in flames, the Mummy Shuffle would continue for two more sequels.

ENTER LON CHANEY JR. IN THESE SILLY, BUT FUN SEQUELS!,
By
This review is from: Mummy's Tomb [VHS] (VHS Tape)
'The Mummy's Tomb' is a sequel to 'The Mummy's Hand'. The story takes place 30 years after 'The Mummy's Hand' leaves off. Clocking in just over an hour in length, this film spends the first 12 minutes in flash back to 'The Mummy's Hand'! The next 3 minutes in a redundant ritual of the passing of the throne as keeper of the tomb. Even with a quarter of the movie being nothing new, this film is still fun! The Mummy make-up looks good even if Chaney looks a little chunky(;-D)and there is some good atmosphere in this short and sweet romp through mummy-ville.
I rate it 2 3/4 Stars for fun factor...who can resist these silly films? This is available on DVD on the Mummy Legacy collection and on a double bill with The Mummy's Hand.

Kharis kills again.,
By
This review is from: Mummy's Tomb [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Although far from cinematic art, this movie is an entertaining B picture that continues the Kharis saga. In an unlikely development, the setting shifts from Egypt to a Massachusetts village. Lon Chaney, Jr. takes over the moldy ace bandages and drags his foot as he shuffles around town in search of the despoilers of Princess Ananka's tomb. Mysterious Turhan Bey is the high priest of the ancient gods of Egypt. Posing as the caretaker of the local cemetery, he conceals Kharis in the main crypt. According to ancient rite, he nourishes the mummy with tana leaf fluid. As the wild dogs howl in the night and the full moon shines brightly, a shadowy figure brings grim death to those guilty of dread sacrilege. The authorities stand baffled by evidence that points to a supernatural menace of ancient Egypt. Borrowing an idea from the Frankenstein flicks, aroused torch-carrying villagers search for the monster. One imagines that in small town America of the 1940s, they had flashlights or at least lanterns. Anyway, this gives the cost conscious director the opportunity to insert stock footage from the original "Frankenstein" showing angry villagers stalking through the woods and cemetery. There was some story-related method to the madness. The torches portend a fiery fate for the mummy. Never mind that a sappy romantic finale diminishes the shock value. Collectors of classic horror films need this addition to their collection. Good second string stuff. ;-)
