the mummy's tomb (1942)

"It's just another one of those theme murders."
By now standard story: (quickly recapping events from The Mummy's Hand) sees archeologist Steve Banning (Dick Foran) discovering an Egyptian tomb, and reaping the consequences when the mummy (Lon Chaney Jr.) objects to having his sleep disturbed. Now thirty years on Banning is again confronted by the Mummy he believed destroyed.
Cheap follow-up to The Mummy's Hand, and uses 10 minutes of that plot to pad out the time in this lesser entry to the mummy genre.
