31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 17: THE MUMMY'S CURSE 1944 (UNIVERSAL)

Lon Chaney, Jr.'s final film appearance as Kharis the Mummy. This time he is in Lousiana bayou country looking for his reincarnated love, Ananka.

Ananka arrives after she crawls out of the dried swamp and is found by several workers in the swamp area and taken to a kindly woman to be looked after. Peter Coe is Ilzor Zandaab, an Egyptian who is helping Kharis in his quest.

Virginia Christine is the revived Ananka, Dennis Moore and Kay Harding are the hero and heroine and Martin Kosleck is a baddie also helping the Mummy. This is good fun and it moves at a very brisk pace for it's 61 minute running time.

Just sit and relax and enjoy this film, but remember you must throw logic out the window because if you take the movie timeline seriously this film would be taking place in 1997. Halloween viewing essential.
