The Classic Universal Mummy Franchise // DC Classics

[@devilsavenger051181]

Great video. Personally I am more inclined to re-watch all those old mummy films instead of wasting my hard earned money on the Tom Cruise remake.

[@connorbrennan4233]

Besides the 1932 film with Karloff, I think the best Mummy film is the 1959 Hammer film with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee as the titular monster.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

The best are the ones from the hammer ones from the 60s.

[@erikramaekers63]

Watch out for that Princess Ananka resurrection scene out of the mud.

[@goodowner5000]

Yes! That was actress Virginia Christine emerging from the mud, later to be known in U.S. television commercials of the '70's as Mrs. Olson for Folgers Coffee ☕.

[@ScarletVoodoo]

Makes me sad that The Mummy is often overlooked because it's my absolute favorite of all the horror classics. Karloff is mesmerizing and the lead actress gives an understated performance and has great chemistry with him.

[@frankboogaard88]

I personally think The Mummy is Karloff at his best.

[@taroman7100]

It was my hubby's favorite as we loved Halloween and this was always on the list of our Universal favorites.

[@raphaelmarquez9650]

The Mummy is such a difficult character to make for horror films nowadays as we learn more about ancient Egypt and how horrid it's been portrayed in pop culture, much like sharks and dinosaurs.

[@juliamavroidi8601]

Still, I was pleasantly surpised how little racism there is in this movie. Sure it's there, but I expected a lot worse from 1932. Maybe a pre-cursor to the 1939 Hunchback?

[@fringelilyfringelily391]

You forgot to mention the visually beautiful Christopher Lee Hammer re-incarnation.

[@Bubblegummonsters]

Another great review. Really in-depth with gems of information.

[@bird10498]

If it's Dark Corners, it's got to be good. The mixing of dialogue and clips is always masterful and hilarious.

[@raulvito6246]

Very interesting! I didn’t know that the Mummy remake by Hammer in 1959 was based on the original Mummy sequel rather than the Karloff movie. The Hammer Mummy has always been my favorite Hammer film (mostly because of the fantastic casting and the great flashblack sequence)

[@connorbrennan4233]

The first Hammer Mummy is probably the best Mummy film ever made after the Karloff film.

[@TheTwick]

Another great video guys!!! I believe I've seen every one of the movies. Have you done "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951)? - one of my all time favorites.

[@michaelbailes2223]

Brilliant. Must watch 'The Mummy' again. Karloff Rules!

I actually laughed out loud at that joke about the third Fraser _Mummy_ movie.

[@jmgmarcus808]

Do a Hammer Mummy series vid. I friggin love all the Hammer Mummy movies, even...."Blood From the Mummy's Tomb"

[@SirKevinH]

Blood From The Mummy's Tomb is my favorite Hammer Mummy film though the first one is a close 2nd. The others didn't do anything for me. Valerie Leon is a most attractive Mummy. Yum.

[@jmgmarcus808]

@@SirKevinH Yep, both are very different. But, good. I have to admit, I like all of them.

[@SirKevinH]

@@jmgmarcus808 The fact is I missed the presence of a Lee or Cushing in Curse of the Mummy's Tomb and The Mummy's Shroud though Andre Morrell almost makes up for it in the former. Blood while it would have been great with Cushing doesn't really suffer from his absence.

[@erikramaekers63]

The scene in which princess Ananka rises out of the mud is my favorite Universal horror movie scene.And The Mummy's Curse is also the only mummy movie in which the mummy is seen tot be much stronger than a human being(in the climax) in all the other pictures he simply strangled people who just stood there.

[@southron_d1349]

Years ago, I phoned the local DVD store and asked for "The Mummy" with BORIS KARLOFF. I was assured they had it. Whereupon, I received the Brendan Fraser version instead. Well, not a bad substitution but not what I wanted. Much later, I bought a copy of the Karloff version.

[@seanbirch2118]

"And a third one" That is mighty shady, and I love it!

[@brunochambre]

I often go to Red Rock Canyon where the exteriors of the Mummy were filmed. It is quite amazing that there has been so little erosion in nearly 100 years. ( 2 hrs drive from Hollywood in the Mojave desert)

[@KRhetor]

I would have liked it if CAGLIOSTRO were made as well; it would probably have been a lot like CHANDU THE MAGICIAN

[@Neverhead35811]

One scene left out here that really deserves mention is the resurrection of Ananka in The Mummy's Curse. Virginia Christine or whoever it was who actually performed that stunt managed to create a moment of horror and humanity powerful enough to stand with anything from the first wave of Universal classics. Unfortunately, that time was long gone and the movie quickly reverted to the stale formula that characterized basically everything the studio was putting out by the mid-40s.

[@goodowner5000]

After Karloff's in the '32 original, I agree that Virginia Christine's scene in 'Curse'('44)is very chilling. People of a certain age came to know Miss Christine in U.S. television commercials of the '70's as Mrs. Olson, for Folgers Coffee ☕.

[@namelessjedi2242]

The Mummy may be slow moving, but remember: you have to sleep sometime, and he doesn’t. Great video as always. 👍

[@caroltenge5147]

[@danddoty3981]

Once again you guys have shown us what geniuses you indeed are. The last part where you showed us the films following Universal series was a great touch. Its strange because tonight I'm going to watch VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA the TV series episode titled The Mummy ( which copies the look of the old Universal movies). There were three movies you failed to cover ( hate being a nit picker ). The very bad Spanish horror film DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN , the very good MONSTER SQUAD and the odd man out, MONSTER BRAWL All of these films show the only times The Mummy teaming up with other monsters

[@DarkCornersReviews]

Really should have had monster squad in there!

[@danddoty3981]

I keep hearing people talking about doing a remake of MONSTER SQUAD.

[@welshsasquatch6093]

[@RabbiKolakowski]

thank you for this video - I never really got into the Mummy as much as I did the other Universal monsters, but this video will send me back to reconsider.

[@whitneyochs234]

I really wish more of Karloff in the Mummy makeup had been shown

[@henrykujawa4427]

I watched a number of obscure later Mummy films on KZbin in recent years. My favorite is probably "O SEGREDO DA MUMIA" (The Secret Of The Mummy), an action-horror-comedy with rock & roll music, from Brazil! Unfortunately, it looks like it's only currently available as a Region 4 disc, and it's next-to-impossible to buy direct from Brazil except with the help of a 3rd-party seller, which greatly increases the cost of what should be a relatively cheap item.

[@hulud99]

Really well done, thanks!

[@Guernicaman]

Very nice little documentary. Will you do something similar w/the other Universal monsters like The Wolfman, Dracula & the Creature from the Black Lagoon?

[@danddoty3981]

I think a history of Zombies in movies would a great doc. But I think a review of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON would be great as well. From the novella of HP Lovecraft Shadow over Innsmit to the legends of the Amazon discussed at a Hollywood dinner party. Without CFBL there would be no creature features that followed ( both good and bad ). If you watch the Universal television series Night Gallery you'll see bits and pieces of CFBL costume used in their monsters.

[@DarkCornersReviews]

Yes, the plan is to do all of these and the hammer series too.

[@DarkCornersReviews]

A History of Zombie film is in the works... maybe more than one video.

[@SciFiFan2012]

AMAZING review of the franchise! Are you going to continue with the other Universal Monsters, even the Creature from the Black Lagoon? He's the underdog of the monsters for me, I've always had a soft spot for him when I watched them growing up. Your classics are great fun, I love the other reviews, sometimes wish they all were longer, except Manos lol. I know this might never happen, but could Gamera, the other kaiju get a review, some of his films are even public domain.

[@DarkCornersReviews]

Yes we will be doing more universal franchise reviews, but before then we have a Hammer one. And yes, a Gamera film is certainly on the cards...

[@danddoty3981]

Hammer brought back the Gothic horror after Universal had run it into the ground ( A&C Meet ... ). And they did it ten years after the last Universal monster team up film. Hammer had done Science Fiction Horror during the 50's But it was THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA that made them the household name they are today.

[@SciFiFan2012]

I haven't really watched a lot of the Hammer films, what would be a few good ones to try and watch for a newbie to the franchise?

[@danddoty3981]

DRACULA , THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN ( some love it , others hate it ) , BRIDES OF DRACULA , THE DEVIL RIDES OUT , FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN , THE QUATERMASS XPIREMENT , FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH.

[@dangeroreilly2028]

Bram Fletcher spoke at my high school in the mid 70's. He claimed he was originally supposed to be a strangling victim, but he thought of the idea of hysterical laughter. I am surprised he didn't mention either of his first two wives, Diana Barrymore or Helen Chandler.

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

[@Silver-rx1mh]

Nothing will ever beat the shot of Karloff's Mummy awakening, with that tiny glint of light in his eye. Subtle but chilling at the same time. A lost art with todays movies it seems....

[@taroman7100]

He's gone for a little walk...use to crack my husband up.

[@Werezilla]

Considering the mummification process includes embalming and removing the organs in addition to wrapping the body, that's a horrible way to die. On an unrelated note, Karloff really did have a great voice. Nobody will ever forget that.

[@craigbreuwet2029]

FYI the Egyptians would also remove the brain by extracting the brain with a hook shaped rod puncturing the ethmoid sinus cavity, because at the time they thought that the human brain was useless and that it was the heart that did everything and it wasn't until the 17th century when a British physician and anatomist by the name is Thomas Willis who discovered that it was the human brain that mostly did everything for the human body

[@crashpal]

Not as bad as Arnold Vosloo getting slowly eaten by scarab bugs in addition to the process

[@mickeythompson9537]

As the character says of the mummy in the movie "the eviscera were not removed..."

[@susanwiggins7847]

I adore Karloff ❤️

[@kennylogan3090]

Once again you guys have presented us with a fascinating and very well researched video. The original Karloff Mummy has never been equaled, everything that followed it never quite came up to the standard of Bride of Frankenstein or Dracula's Daughter as sequels, but then Karloff the Uncanny is a pretty hard act to follow. This is why I subscribe to you guys, because , be it B movie or classic, you always do your homework, which let's face it, involves sitting through some really terrible films and always present fantastic videos.

The 1959 Mummy is not a slasher film anymore than the original or it's sequels were, it also does not keep Kharis as a slave because he refuses to obey the high priest command to kill his love interest and instead kills him, so he does have free will.

"I'm an actor and I'm taking the money, least I can do is give it what I've got." For your actor footnote file, Virginia Christine was in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."

I think Universal have blown their entire Monster franchise out of the water they don't seem to have the imagination anymore, The last one with Tom Cruise was god awful. I think their problem is ( as with Van Helsing and the Wolf-man) they seem to think just the Mummy can't stand alone it has to have Jekyll and Hyde or Dracula Frankenstein or the wolf-man cant stand alone they have to add more and more until the movie and the audience becomes overwhelmed. Why not just start with on story ? Like the did in the Old days and build up to the monster mashes so it makes more sense ( not that those old movies bothered that much with continuity) I just don't see Universa;s logic. If you look at hammers run on Mummy movies none of these where even sequels! I liked em in fact my favourite Mummy movie was Blood From the Mummys tomb (it was too bad Peter Cushing wasn't in it but his wife had died just as they started production and of course he remained devastated until he died) I loved Valerie Leon in this in really her first ( and I believe her only ) starring role and Andrew Kier was not a bad replacement for Cushing I liked this Mummy movie because essentially it wasn't a dusty old bloke limping about in bandages. I did like the Monster Squad treatment of how to deal with a mummy tie a trailing bandage to a car bumper and drive very quickly. ( And that movie is how you do a Monster mash the idiots at Universal ought to watch it)
