Universal produced \u003ci\u003eThe Mummy's Hand, The Mummy's Tomb, The Mummy's Ghost, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Mummy's Curse\u003c\/i\u003e (originally \u003ci\u003eThe Mummy's Return\u003c\/i\u003e) and thus created a popular franchise that is still supported today by a following of loyal fans. (Universal was prompted to produce a remake of its \u003ci\u003eMummy\u003c\/i\u003e films in 1999.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book is devoted entirely to Universal's \u003ci\u003eMummy\u003c\/i\u003e movies of the 1940s. It reveals lost action and dialogue by analyzing scenes that were edited out days before \u003ci\u003eThe Mummy's Hand\u003c\/i\u003e was released to theaters, treats readers to other dialogue that was filmed and then cut down to almost nothing before being included in the films, and compares and contrasts the original story of \u003ci\u003eThe Mummy's Return\u003c\/i\u003e to the final shooting script of what was later renamed \u003ci\u003eThe Mummy's Curse.\u003c\/i\u003e Each of the films has its own chapter, and chapters are also devoted to the actors who played the heroes, heroines, high priests, victims, and mummies in the films, and to the filmmakers who brought the mummies to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas M.
