The Mummy Halloween Costumes

Ancient Egypt and the practice of mummification have always fascinated us. The discovery in 1921 of Tutankhamun's tomb and the idea of a curse fueled public interest. After the success of both Dracula and Frankenstein, the race was on to bring an Egyptian-based horror film to the silver screen.

Although the story changed several times, the mummy of the film was given the name of Imhotep. Imhotep was a chancellor to the Third Dynasty king, Djoser. He is also considered to be the first architect and engineer, as well as a physician, in early history. After his death he was afford divine status as a god of medicine and healing, usually a status not given to commoners, and also had a cult in Memphis devoted to him. His self-built tomb has never been discovered.

For the purposes of the silver screen, the character of the mummy, made famous by actor Boris Karloff, was changed to an Egyptian priest. Imhotep was mummified alive for attempt to resurrect Ankh-es-en-amon, his lover. Imhotep, resurrected by two archeologists who accidentally bring him back to life with an ancient spell, enlists their help in trying to find the tomb of Ankh-es-en-amon and bring her back yet again.

The 1932 film became a classic. It was never given a sequel but instead was "remade" during the 1940s. The Mummy's Hand was followed by The Mummy's Tomb, The Mummy's Ghost and The Mummy's Curse. These films focused on a a mummy named Kharis.

The 1959 film The Mummy, produced by the British Hammer Film Productions, was a remake based on the Kharis films. In 1999, The Mummy received a "reboot" in the form of a new version staring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep.
