	Movies - The Mummy's Curse

The Mummy's Curse is the 1944 horror film follow-up to The Mummy's Ghost which was also released in 1944. The story, which now takes place in New Orleans, concerns Princess Ananka who was reincarnated in The Mummy's Ghost only to die in the swamps. In this film, her body is dug up by land developers and she comes back to life.

Plot

In his final film appearance, Lon Chaney, Jr. returns as one of the screen's most memorable movie monsters: ancient Egyptian mummy Kharis, who is tormented by his forbidden love for a long-dead princess. Transported to Cajun coiuntry by archaeologists, Kharis breaks free and goes on a rampage of terror and destruction. Finally, he is reunited with his princess. But they soon discover that the greatest threat their ancient romance has ever known may be the museum curators who are after them.

Trivia

Even though the mummy Kharis and Princess Ananka die in a swamp in New England in The Mummy's Ghost, they are fond in a swamp in Lousiania in this sequel.

The Mummy
(1932) was set in 1932, the year of its release. The first sequel, The Mummy's Hand
(1940) is also chronologically coherent, set in 1940. The Mummy's Tomb
(1942) takes place some thirty years following the events of "Hand", with The Mummy's Ghost
(1944) somewhat after. We learn that this movie is set an additional twenty five years after "Ghost", meaning that the events take place in 1995.
