Storyline

- TriviaIn the scene where Kharis trashes the Scripps Museum, Lon Chaney Jr. drove his fist through real glass--it was supposed to be breakaway glass, but the prop man forgot to replace it before shooting started--and a shard of it flew up and cut him through his mummy mask in his chin. In this scene, Kharis can be seen bleeding, and it's real blood.
- GoofsA stock shot of George Zucco climbing the temple steps from The Mummy's Hand (1940) is used to represent Yousef Bey (John Carradine), which means that by the time Carradine actually faces the now-elderly Zucco to receive instructions, he appears to have lost about forty pounds and gained a full head of dark hair.
- Quotes
Yousef Bey: Has any man before ever offered his bride the gift of eternal life?

Featured review
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 finale
Well enough made
The Bad:
Some very hammy acting
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Fainting was a big thing for women in the 1940's
Mummy tantrums are hilarious
Ancient egyptian bandages were bullet proof
