Eternal punishment for anyone who opens this The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day…
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Got another Karloff shot for you, this time it’s a rather nifty shot of the man sitting in the make-up chair admiring (or lamenting, depending on what mood he was in) his make up for 1932’s THE MUMMY.
I’ve always loved Karloff’s make-up here, a more iconic monster I think thank Frankenstein, but the flick isn’t nearly as good as Frankenstein through Son of Frankenstein. There’s just something special about those films that speaks to me more than The Mummy, but that doesn’t hinder my own personal enjoyment whenever I dive back into the world of Im-ho-tep.
It’s a hullva picture! Enjoy!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes Pic didn’t kill him! It gave him life!

MAKE IT SO!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah...the first film is the only one in the whole set worth watching.
-
Really? I think you need a new dictionary. You might think it's a better make-up job but Karloff's Frankenstein is the single most recognisable monster in the history of film. And why no mention of Jack Pierce?
-
not zooey! zooey looks like a tree hugger who never using deodorant, she would make a HORRIBLE lois! <p> Rashida Jones however....is absolutely spot on PERFECT.
-
Nuff Said.
-
My testicles explode with the news!
-
Does that mean that Lois Lane will take it up the ass?
-
Pity she's one-hundred-and-three years old. And dead.
-
In fact, on Jack Pierce's Wiki page the first line reads: 'Jack Pierce... was a Hollywood makeup artist most famous for creating the iconic makeup worn by Boris Karloff in Universal Studios' 1931 adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.' I think there's a mention of The Mummy somewhere in the 20th paragraph.

Lovin these classic movie monsters!

It would be very interesting, to say the least.

Wouldn't Super-man's Super-semen blast straight through her skull?

...so I figured "What the hell?" :-)

For now. :-)

Ah Ed Wood always good for a quote.

Imagine the possibilities!

Oh, I'm sorry. That's not a person. Sorry for interrupting the casting session.

Who?

They chromed the shit out of anything that didn't move back in those days, eh?

Huh?

Yep, I'm bored out of my fucking mind.

Why don't you do a little preliminary research before you go parading your ignorance in talkback?

I think they are already related.

TOTALLY. YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.

Loved the makeup; Wish it had more than 30 seconds screentime.
by The Reluctant Austinite
It's true. The script to "The Mummy" was meant to copy most of the key plotline of "Dracula". Don't believe me? What them both again. "The Mummy" is nowhere near as good as "Dracula", the first three "Frankenstien" films or "The Wolf Man" (my personal fav!). Jack Pierce's Mummy makeup was so good, I wish it were given more screen time. It's almost more fun to watch any of the four "Mummy" sequels, none of which are as good in terms of of plot, acting or general filmmaking, but they've all got lots more MUMMY for the money.
-
...then I want a behind the scenes look at Barbara Crampton's teats. THE MUMMY was never one of my favorite Universal horror pics (I enjoyed the Hammer MUMMY more), but anything with Karloff is worth a look.
-
F*CK YOU!!!! KARLOFF DOES NOT DESERVE TO SMELL MY SHIT!!
-
Search within your heart and know this to be true.
-
She is the tsunami of the new Lois Lane candidates. You can't run; you can't hide. You can only let inevitability wash over you, and cleanse you.<P>Then, you can go about your business, and be happy that the movie will be better *with* her than without her.<P>(Let us bow our heads and pray)
-
She's the only modern actress I could buy in that role, and I'd rather have a relative unknown in the role instead of any of the current crop of Hollywood pretty girls.
-
...that semi-literate Mormon chick will write another Twilight book, this time bringing mummies into the mix and thereby ruining yet another classic monster.

...or could have been a really good one if they made Superman in 1932 when "the Mummy" was made. I love this film and due to circumstance to complicated to describe here, I've watched it at least 40 times over the last several years, and am always impressed at the strength of the story, cinematography, editing and acting. Zita, who played Ankh-sen Amun, and the love interest for our hero as well as the evil Ardeth Bey, the re-animated ImHotep, (he had done an 'un-holy thing') And she was a real beauty...and quite sexy especially when considering the times when the flick was first made.
