Musty TV's Maniacal Halloween Countdown - Day 7

Keep walking backwards slowly and you'll outpace him soon enough.

Sundays in October on TCM are devoted to the mummy, perhaps the most boring of all the classic monsters.

OK, that's not entirely fare. Mummy movies have their archeological charms. I just tend to find slow-moving, silent, bandage-covered monsters a tad on the tame side.

Here's today's line-up. All times PST

5:00 PM - The Mummy's Hand (1940)
6:30 PM - The Mummy's Ghost (1944)
7:45 PM - The Mummy's Curse (1944)

There's not really much wrong with the mummy; you just need good writers to breathe new life into it.
