THE MUMMY Retrospective - Universal's Messiest Monster Franchise

A look back at the entire history of Universal Pictures' The Mummy franchise, ranging from its 1932 original starring Boris Karloff to the many B movie sequels of the 40s up through the classic Brendan Fraser remake and its sequels and finally at the disastrous Dark Universe launch that killed the mummy, at least for now, including a ranking of every movie and behind the scenes details of this horror franchise.
