Ep. 337: Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) and The Mummy (1932)

May 05, 2026 by Morgan Davies in episodes

The latest Mummy movie is a gruesome horror story about demonic possession, marking a departure from the blockbuster style of recent Mummy franchise instalments. It's also a bit of a misfire, so we're using this opportunity to look back at the original 1932 Mummy film, its Ancient Egyptian background, and its overlap with other Pre-Code horror classics like Dracula and Frankenstein.
