Long before Jigsaw and Annabelle, Ghostface and Samara—going back to even before Freddy and Jason—there were the Universal Monsters. These were the creatures and character designs who were so iconic that they defined what the horror genre was to most moviegoers during the earliest decades of talking pictures. Primarily released in two film cycles by Universal Pictures across the 1930s and ‘40s (plus a few outliers on both sides of this), the legacy of these films and the people who made them endures still. It echoes in Halloween costumes and TV specials, merchandise toys and candies, it’s even informing recent Blumhouse films and Netflix’s Wednesday. Right now, you can go to any Universal theme park and meet the Monsters as un-goodwill ambassadors at “Halloween Horror Nights.”

The Mummy Returns! Join your horror hosts Kim & Jon as they lift the lid on the tomb of Kharis and summon the eternal spirit of The Mummy's Hand (1940), the long-awaited sequel to the Universal Monsters Classic The Mummy (1932) and, arguably, the bigger inspiration behind the 1999 masterpiece we all know and love.
The Mummy is one of the least mobile monsters in the Universal lineup. While your average monster is roaming the countryside or taking boat rides across oceans of time, The Mummy mostly hangs out in the outskirts of Cairo. This Mummy in particular is a gooey, murderous, lovelorn junky, and caught in the middle of his sand swept slay-cation is a group of fast-talking, unsuspecting Americans archeologists who've dig up more than they bargained for…
Will they make it out of Cairo alive? Will they uncover the high priest's dastardly plot? Will The Mummy ever get to kiss his Mummy girlfriend?...
