The Monsters That Made Us #4 – The Mummy (1932)

by Dan Colon · Published January 29, 2021 · Updated October 9, 2023

Join “The Invisible Dan” Colón and “Monster Mike” Manzi as they get wrapped up in a love story 3,700 years in the making! They discuss cinematographer Karl Fruend’s directorial debut, Jack Pierce’s iconic mummy makeup (as well as the 8 hours it took to apply it to Boris Karloff!), its unmistakable similarities to a previous Universal monster film, and why this original Mummy film might be the best ever made! But whatever you do, do NOT read the ancient scrolls!
