    Poor and average2007-11-133 / 5
    The Mummys Ghost and the Mummys Curse are both late Universal horror films being made in 1944. Sadly by this time Universal had lost their ability to make classic horror films and were about to enter the Abbott and Costello meet the Wolfman era.

    Curse is the better of two films and warrants the 3 stars I have awarded the pair. Indeed this film has one classic scene that must rank as one of the best scenes in any of Universals horror films. Watch when Princess Ananka awakes from the mud. This is really well done and has an almost 3D effect to it. Sadly though the rest of the film is at best average and rather pointlessly for a short 61 minute movie its starts with a song in a bar.

    The less said about Ghost the better. Its only redeeming feature was the ending which was very unlike Hollywood. For that it deserves credit.

    Overall though these are basically very average films, which certainly do not compare with Universals orginal film starring Boris Karloff. Now that is a film you should be buying!
    ENTERTAINING, BUT FLAWED! THE LAST OF THE MUMMY SEQUELS!2007-08-154 / 5
    I don't consider any of these Mummy films, sequels to the original Mummy. They do use footage in flashback, but they really have little to do with the classic original. There were four Mummy films made by Universal in the 40's and these are the last two entries. Even though they are not classics they are tough to dislike. The DVD transfer is good on these double bill DVD's but, the Legacy Collection is a better deal because you get all 5 Mummy movies in one package. The extras are very good on the Legacy set.
    "B" Movie Fun!2005-11-145 / 5
    After the initial masterpiece of the original 1932 "A" film, "The Mummy," Universal would make a franchise of the character and it would become a "B" staple during the 1940's for people looking to escape the harsh news of the war and get lost in a fun story on a Saturday afternoon. It was also a chance to put your arm around your girl, as you knew there would be a few thrills that would give you the excuse you needed.

    These two later entries from the 1940's are both a lot of fun, and both have Lon Chaney Jr. as the tortured Kharis, forever attempting to reunite with his forbidden love, Ananka. "The Mummy's Ghost" was excellent "B" film entertainment and had John Carradine as Yousef Bay. George Zucco was back as Andoheb, even though he was supposedly killed off in the previous film. Ramsay Ames is the frightened Amina/Ananka in this one and Robert Lowery is her bewildered boyfriend. Chaney elicits sympathy through the bandages somehow as he chases after the screaming Amina, who begins to transform into his love Ananka as the story progresses. The great "B" sets of Universal and the transformation of Ramsay Ames' character Amina into Ananka are highlights of a good entry in the series.

    Lon Chaney would portray Kharis in the final film of the series also, and this time the stunning Virginia Christine would be his most sought after prize. "The Mummy's Curse" was set in the swamps as a group of workers developing the area become frightened when they uncover the resting place of Kharis. The foggy swamps provide an appropriately creepy mood for this good "B" entry. Betty Walsh is good as Kay Harding and Peter Coe is Dr. Ilzor Zanard, hiding Kharis in the ruins of a monastery. It is best not to question why or how there is such a place on a hill overlooking the swamps of the bayou or how the coffin of Kharis came to be there. These "B" Universal entries were meant to be fun entertainment and nothing more. This one succeeds in that capacity with the foggy atmosphere of the swamps and the gorgeous Virginia Christine. The scene where she rises from the swamps, awoken by the sunlight and covered in mud, gives this one a big lift.

    This is old-fashioned fun in every sense of the word. So grab the popcorn and the kids and let your imagination run wild for an hour or two. It's a lot of fun!
    THE FINAL TWO MUMMY MOVIES!2004-11-224 / 5
    The Mummy's Ghost is the 3rd Mummy sequel and the second starring Lon Chaney Jr. as the Mummy. The events in this movie take place just a couple of years or so after the events in the Mummy's Tomb, where we saw Kharis go up in flames at the Steve Banning house.

    High Priest Andoheb (george Zucco) is shown STILL alive. Old and frail he sends yet another young priest of Arkan (changed from Karnak for some reason) to America to recover Kharis and the body of Ananka and return them to Egypt. This time the priest Yousef Bey, is played by John Carradine.

    Meanwhile, back in Mapleton, MA the Mummy is shown walking again...with NO explanation as to how he escaped the fire or what was done with his body after the fire. Just another one of those fun Universal plot inconsistencies...

    At Any rate a Professor Norman recreates the Tana leave experiment sending Kharis on his merry way to commit murder and mayhem. Bey reaches the museum with Kharis but when he goes to take Anankas body she simply disinegrates into a heap of dust and bandages, sending Kharis into a destructive rage, killing a security guard.

    Bey guesses that Anankas spirit has been reincarnated into a new body which they soon discover is that of Amini Mansouri played by 40's scream Queen Ramsay Ames. The remainder of the film deals with Bey and Kharis looking to capture Ames and the local sherrif and townsfolk looking to stop the mummy.

    Chaney has much more to do in this film than in the previous one. He gets to really go on a rampage a couple of times and show some genuine emotion.

    Carradine is fun as Yousef Bey even if he doesn't look remotely Egyptian. Ames is pretty standard as the damsel in distress and basically spends the movie screaming and fainting. Her fiancee Tom, played by Robert lowery, is the usual dim-witted, wooden romantic lead in the great tradition of David Manners.

    I liked The Mummy's Ghost. It was more action packed than the two previous entries and Chaney really made the mummy terrifying.

    In the Mummy's Curse we are treated to an odd bit of Universal continuity craziness...in previous movie the mummy disappeared under the swampy waters in Mapleton, MA..only to reappear in the swamps of Louisiana!!! Wow! what a trip!

    Well we have a new high priest of Arkam who attempts to find the bodies of Kharis and the reincarnated Ananka and return them to Egypt. Peter Coe plays the high priest Zandaab aided by his servant Ragheb.

    Oddly enough they find a very gothic looking and abandoned monastery atop a hill in the Bayou!!! They revive Kharis (played again by Chaney Jr.) and send him out to find Ananka.

    This movie actually has one of the more chilling scenes in any mUmmy movie since the original, when the reincarnated Ananka digs here way out of the dirt and grime of the swamp. She staggers along covered in muck not unlike a zombie out of Night of the Living Dead. Quite scary given the time period.

    She has no desire to go back and constantly runs from Kharis who kills anyone in his way including a female tavern owner.

    I think Curse may have been the best of the Chaney Jr. Mummy offerings. Some genuinely scary moments. Only problem was that this was really the weakest supporting cast with no realy big name stars like Zucco or Carradine in supporting roles.
    I'm a MUMMY!2004-06-174 / 5
    Man, the reviewer a couple below hits the nail on the head when he asks why anyone would be embarrassed for enjoying these classic films.

    These and the other Universal Calssic Monsters set the bar for quality in the genre and had a huge impact worldwide.

    Consider Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, directed by the amazing James Whale. Who would argue that these are not just excellent horror films, but simply excellent films. Creature from the Black Lagoon. Again, it may be dated somewhat, but what movies from this era aren't? It still delivers tension and creeps.

    The Mummy series of Universal films may be my favorite of the lot. This particular DVD reissue is an essential edition to any horror or classic film afficionado's collection and is a great introduction for the next generation as well.
