The Mummy's Ghost is the third of four movies in the original "The Mummy" franchise.It follows on from the previous film and yet another high priest has risen our mummy (Played again by Lon Chaney Jr). Once again he is after the reincarnation of his original love. Trouble is this is the third time we've seen the same plot.I'm not saying The Mummy's Ghost is any worse than the rest, it's just the same thing.What it does have however is a very shocking and surprising finale that I found very entertaining. Movies from this time tended to be very predictable so this came as a surprise.For fans this will entertain, but it could easily have been a stand alone movie.The Good:Fantastic finaleWell enough madeThe Bad:Some very hammy actingThings I Learnt From This Movie:Fainting was a big thing for women in the 1940'sMummy tantrums are hilariousAncient egyptian bandages were bullet proof

If you want see something really scary see this movie. This is scarier then The Mummy's hand. And that is not easy to do. This is scarier then The Mummy's tomb. And that is not easy to do. One movie that is scarier then this The Mummy's curse. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.8 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie the 5.8 is underrating it. This is a 9. This is scarier then The Shining and that is not easy to do. Reginald Le Borg was a great film maker. This is one of the his best movies. See it.

Still alive and searching for his long-lost love's remains, the mummified Kharis sets out to find her body and comes across a college student reincarnated as his love which puts his rampage in jeopardy as he tries to save her.This turned out to be quite the enjoyable effort in the series. More than anything else, what works here is the rather large amount of screen time given to the mummy, having a chance to really get a lot of scenes even if he's just shuffling through the background though this one does have some enjoyable moments. Among them are the early attack at the professor's home along with the abduction later on which manages to feature a lot of fun in the initial abduction and transportation scenes along with the scenes of the crises of faith in the temple all making this one quite enjoyable. There's still several other big highlights here, the big one obviously being the finale in the hideout as the mummy tries protecting the girl from the townspeople attempting to reclaim her back while it wages a secondary fight to hold off his attempts to get with her and the end result of all this action is the fire-packed burning of the building in a spectacular display. As well, the sequence in the museum works rather well as the ceremony to restore her is nice B-level charm and the resulting encounter with the guard makes for a rather exciting time. Finally, this one fully explores the connection history of the tanna leaves in resurrecting and controlling the mummy, all of which helps this one overcome its few flaws. Frankly, the biggest stumbling block here is the inherent cheapness in practically everything from the special effects to the mummy costume and even the sets in the different hideouts which are quite obvious and really distracting at times. Also, despite the fact that the mummy has a lot of screen time most of it is random shot of him shuffling around in brief interstitial scenes without really showing it doing much. It really makes these scenes pretty questionable, almost as questionable as the decision to have a hideout with a gimpy-legged creature on top of a mineshaft with a one- hundred-plus inclined slope to get to it. The concept is pretty stupid and is executed similarly. It's not as big a detriment but it does stand with the other flaws.Today's Rating-Unrated/PG: Mild Violence.

The Mummy's Ghost is the third in the "Kharis" the Mummy series and Griffin Jay's script is more or less a rehash of the same old lady in distress plot line of the first two with a twist ending that is a grabber.Director Reggie LeBorg was Chaney's buddy and knew Lon would be pretty well crooked when the lunch break was over, particularly when Lon was in his mummy makeup. Jack Pierce got very tired of Lon's constant gripping and moaning about it. There is a story that LeBorg told about the scene where Kharis strangles Prof Norman. Frank Reicher was one of Hollywood's most respected character actors. When the scene started rolling, Chaney went charging in,grabbed Reicher by the throat and pushed him into the wall. Chaney had been hitting the bottle and was pumped. When Chaney broke off, Reicher screamed "He almost killed me!" and proceeded to verbally ream Chaney a new one, calling him unprofessional and stupid. Chaney just sat there in his mummy makeup muttering an apology and shivering in shame. Chaney's glass breaking scene when Ananka's mummy dissolves is yet another legend. Again he fortified himself with some Jack Daniels and did the whole scene himself without a stuntman. He cut his chin under his mask on a shard of glass, you can see the blood at the end of the scene.Acquanetta had been originally cast in the Amina/Ananka role but she injured herself on the first day of shooting. Ben Pivar claimed, however, that LeBorg had demanded that she be replaced during rehearsals because of her poor acting. Anyway, the beautiful Ramsay Ames was thrown into the part with just a few days notice, which may account for her confused look.in most of her scenes. Ramsay had been hired to appear in musicals because of her singing and dancing talent but Universal kept casting her in horror and mystery films. Robert Lowery was way too old to play a college student and wasn't happy about being cast in the movie. He seemed to have a "lets get this thing over with attitude" throughout the film.The plot holes and lack of continuity in the Mummy series are well known and have been pointed out in many knowledgeable sources. Kharis is a killing machine and not a sympathetic creature as some of the other Universal monsters are. His tendency to kill senior citizens is yet another reason not to root for him. Watching The Mummy's Ghost isn't the worst way to spend an hour and is essential if your are following the series.
