Considering how one fourth of it is taken up with footage from its predecessor THE MUMMY'S HAND, it probably worked better if seen first. Chaney's makeup was modified from Tom Tyler's, with one blackened eye, and all the fingers missing from one hand. He sure had less to work with...it's no wonder he hated the role with a passion. Turhan Bey had just played a Japanese villain in DESTINATION UNKNOWN, and relished playing his namesake Mehemet Bey, but he was no match for either Zucco or Carradine (but superior to Peter Coe). Glenn Strange has a cameo as a farmer trying to calm his horse. Probably the weakest of all four, this aired just 4 times on Pittsburgh's CHILLER THEATER.kochillthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843717929648076583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192773387267481562.post-41012166276940380922010-11-21T07:48:08.474-08:002010-11-21T07:48:08.474-08:00There's something about mummy movies that kids...There's something about mummy movies that kids like.
