Did You Know?
| Trivia | In the scene where Kharis trashes the Scripps Museum, Lon Chaney Jr. drove his fist through real glass--it was supposed to be breakaway glass, but the prop man forgot to replace it before shooting started--and a shard of it flew up and cut him through his mummy mask in his chin. In this scene, Kharis can be seen bleeding, and it's real blood. See more » |
| Goofs | A stock shot of George Zucco climbing the temple steps from The Mummy's Hand (1940) is used to represent Yousef Bey (John Carradine), which means that by the time Carradine actually faces the now-elderly Zucco to receive instructions, he appears to have lost about forty pounds and gained a full head of dark hair.
