The Mummy's Tomb is the 1942 sequel to The Mummy's Hand (1940). Synopsis The film begins with a long recap of what happened in The Mummy's Hand as told by Stephen Banning, the hero of the first film now an old man. The film features many scenes from the last "mummy" film to tell the story. After the recap Banning, the man who found the Ananka tomb 30 years before, is killed in his own house in New England by the mummy after a high priest has vowed revenge on the men who entered the tomb years before. Bannings old partner, 'Babe' Hanson is also targeted as well. As the Banning family is killed off one by one, the high priest (Turhan Bey) decides to take a young woman as his bride instead of killing her. He orders the mummy to kidnap the woman. Angry villagers, lead by Banning's son, hunt down the monster and again burn it to death. Critical reaction Critical reviews of the film are mostly negative. Film critics felt the movie failed to live up to the standards of other Universal horror films

Trivia

* Lon Chaney, Jr. disliked the role of Kharis the mummy. Jack Pierce spent up to 8 hours completely with the wrapping of Lon Chaney. A much easier rubber mask was used for the long shots of filming.

* Universal Pictures made a system for Lon. The film was shot with Chaney wearing most of the make up with only palyster covering certain parts of his torso, hands in the make up. This was basically for the close-ups during the film.

* For some reason, Wallace Ford's character's name is changed from Jenson from the previous film to Hanson in this film.
