Dell Movie Classic: The Mummy (Part Two)

Time for the strange, open ended conclusion to the Dell Movie Classic #537 version of The Mummy (Sept / Nov 1962.) As Drew explained in the comments of our previous Dell offering last month (see Dracula), "The endings of at least three of the early 1960s Dell Monster Classics ("Dracula," "Frankenstein," and "The Creature") make it plain that a sequel was contemplated, and the "The Wolfman" and "The Mummy" could also have been reinterpreted to be less final than they looked. Somehow these sequels never came to be." It's too bad too, because The Mummy could definitely benefit from a bigger / better ending, or another issue or two. Come back next month for The Wolfman!

Scary Mummy vs. Funny Mummy Time!
