Viewing Notes
You know you’re watching an old (older) movie when Peter Cushing’s character is referred to as “the boy”... and so it goes with The Mummy, my 3rd mummy film in as many days (thx to Netflix this time). Yes I noticed that my viewing was a tad deficient in mummy films so a bit of a binge. And this is best of the 3 and a better Hammer example of this classic monster and quite good for a 1959 Hammer Horror Film. Love Christopher Lee as Kharis, the Mummy.
