The Mummy

Featuring groundbreaking innovations in make-up that are used to chilling effect, THE MUMMY earns its place in the canon of classic horror cinema.

A Boris Karloff classic, obviously a must see for any true horror fan
You just can't beat the original classics. Nothing need be said. Karloff.
Still holds up. Karloff’s stare is hypnotic and macabre.
It was cute. The timeline is a little confusing but besides that it’s great.
Karloff is absolutely haunting in this. Love it.
