The Mummy's Curse is the 1944 horror
film follow-up to The Mummy's Ghost which was also released in 1944. This
film marks Lon Chaney Jr.'s final appearance as Kharis, the Egyptian
mummy. Many critics and fans believe the final installment to be the
weakest. Certainly it is the most inconsistent, since Kharis was last seen
in New England, and here he is dug up in Louisiana. The Universal Mummy
series also boasts of a parallel-earth kind of timeline. The Mummy's Hand
was made and set in 1940; The Mummy's Tomb takes place 30 years later; The
Mummy's Ghost about five years after that, and The Mummy's Curse
twenty-five years after "Ghost." That means if the timeline is taken
seriously, this film is set around the year 2000.

Plot
This installment in the series takes place in Louisiana Cajun country and
concerns Princess Ananka, the ancient Egyptian princess for whom Kharis
bore a forbidden love. Ananka had previously been reincarnated in The
Mummy's Ghost only to die in the swamps. In this film, her body is dug up
by land developers and she comes back to life. Kharis terrorizes the local
country in his search for her. Interestingly enough, one of the principal
leads, Dennis Moore, better known for his western roles and for appearing
in the last US movie serial (Blazing the Overland Trail, Columbia, 1956),
is not even listed in some of the movie posters for the film.
