Description: Students relive the tale of the Mummy and the story of the making of the film in this book that takes an in-depth look at the film by which all other mummy films are judged. Filmed during the Great Depression and in the midst of an Egyptology craze, The Mummy enthralled audiences, particularly Boris Karloff's legendary performance. This book looks at the film, the effect it had on the monster movie genre, and the cultural mindset of the era.
