Synopsis
The Mummy's Ghost (1944) is a Universal horror classic you can watch online — 61 minutes, directed by Reginald Le Borg, and the fourth entry in the studio's Mummy series.
Egyptian cultist Yousef Bey arrives in New England with a straightforward mission: recover the mummified remains of Princess Ananka and her undead guardian Kharis and bring them home. Lon Chaney Jr. plays the bandaged Kharis; John Carradine is the high priest who gradually loses control of him when it turns out Ananka's soul has already passed into the body of a living woman of Egyptian descent. The priest's desire to possess both the mummy and the reincarnated princess is what unravels everything — greed doing what monsters alone couldn't.
Made at the height of the Universal Monsters era, it takes a notably darker turn than its predecessors. The ending does not resolve the way audiences of 1944 had been conditioned to expect. Stream The Mummy's Ghost online on iFILM.
