I'm I'm Salutations.

Welcome to Pod Mortem.

I'm Travis Hunter,

joined as always by my co-host,

my sister, and my brother-in-law.

Hi, I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez.

Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez.

This week, we're

broadcasting live from the Cairo Museum discussing the 1932 horror classic, The Mummy. This film was

directed by Carl Freund and written by John L. Baldurston based on a story by Nina Wilcox Putnam and

Richard Schaeher. After the opening of the Tomb of the Egyptian King Tutankhamun

only 10 years prior, producer Carl Limley Jr. hoped to capitalize not only on the story,

but the concept of an ancient curse. This film reteams several previous Universal Horror

Collaborators, including Boris Karloff in yet another iconic role. With elements of romance and exploring the concepts of reincarnation and eternal life,

the mummy would achieve decent success, the status of a horror classic,

and spawned several sequels, reboots, and remakes.

We'd like to thank Friends of the Show, Michelle Moore and Lala Thomas,

for recommending that we journey into the world of universal

classic monsters.

So, The Mummy, what were your first impressions on the film?

So the lack of CGI in this movie, I was very despond.

How dare they?
