In
his quest for revenge Kharis, an ancient Egyptian mummy, will
travel across the oceans to America, where along with his caretaker
he will finally seek out vengeance on those that violated his
sacred tomb years ago.
The
Mummys Ghost is the second sequel to the original Mummy.
Not much has changed with the vengeance crazed Kharis over the
last few years, but at least in this one he gets to see some new
scenery.
Lon
Chaney dons the gauze and dust in this one and does a fair job,
but he still looks better under wolf make-up in my opinion.
Unlike
Karloff, Chaney gets no dialog and a lot screen time. Also actors
Dick Foran and Wallace Ford reprise their previous roles as Steve
Banning and Babe Jenson from The Mummys Hand, the
two are quite toned down and not as over the top as they were
in the previous film.
Not
only is Kharis out to kick these twos asses he also gets
the added bonus of a death curse being put on all of Bannings
family from here to eternity, which will keep him in fresh victims
for a few years, but the Banning clan isnt going to let
Kharis have it his way without a fight!
A
decent flick but not much else to be had and by this installment,
Kharis was beginning to look as worn as his bandages.
