Fun Stuff

Trivia:

The early shot of Yousef Bey, played by John Carradine, ascending the stairs to the temple where he will present himself to the aging High Priest Andoheb (George Zucco), is actually footage of Zucco as a much younger Andoheb doing the exact same thing in The Mummy's Hand (1940). more

Goofs:

Boom mic visible: When the Scripps Museum security guard comes into the room to confront Yousef Bey, you can see the shadow of the boom mic on the glass door behind him. more

The Mummy's Ghost (1944) **, 5 August 2005
4/10
Author: MARIO GAUCI (marrod@melita.com) from Naxxar, Malta

Perhaps the weakest film in the "Kharis" series, despite the presence of John Carradine (miscast as an Egyptian high priest) and George Zucco (as his predecessor, hilariously afflicted by a bad case of Parkinson's Disease) supporting Lon Chaney Jr. as the titular creature - if indeed it was him under the bandages, as his contribution is negligible at best! It's a watchable 60 minutes in itself, I guess, but the standards have considerably lowered when compared even to the two previous entries, and the end result is strictly routine and not at all memorable. Just about the only interesting feature here is the fact that the female lead happens to be the reincarnation of Princess Ananka, mentioned a great deal in earlier films but never actually seen.
