				Why watch this? 
				... because your Mummy told you to! Besides, it's a horror classic. 
				Plot Summary: 
				A team of British archaeologists, while excavating in Egypt, 
				accidentally resurrect the ancient priest Imhotep. After his 
				unexpected revival, Imhotep disguises himself as a modern 
				Egyptian scholar and embarks on a quest to find the 
				reincarnation of his long-lost love, Princess Anck-es-en-Amon. 
				His efforts involve a young woman whom he believes is the 
				reincarnation of the princess, leading to a suspenseful 
				confrontation. 
				Dad's Preview: 
				The great Boris Karloff, as 
				with Frankenstein 
				(1931), gives the 
				terrifying Imhotep/Bey an eerie personality and believability. 
				It is that deep, gothic voice and those hollow, sunken eyes. 
				Yikes! 
				Universal made five more Mummy films starring Lon Chaney Jr. in 
				the title role.
