Girls, Join Us At 8PM Tonight, As "Svengoolie" Kicks Off December With "The Mummy's Tomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                I have to confess, darlings, December is not a promising month as "Svengoolie" ends his year.  Frankly, this is the best of the lot.



                                Universal made a lot of 'Mummy' movies.  There was the Karloff classic original in 1932, still the gold standard of them all.  Then there was "The Mummy's Hand," in 1940, this one in 1942 "The Mummy's Ghost," in 1944, and then "The Mummy's Curse" in 1945, the final one in the series What a shame Universal never made a movie out of "The Mummy Finds Poppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".



                                   Lon Chaney, Jr. famous for "The Wolf Man," but having the distinction of playing all the Universal monsters over time plays Kharis tonight.  The beauty he pursues is played by Elyse Knox, who never went anywhere.  Where was Evelyn Ankers, when she was needed?????????????



                                    Still, I am looking forward to an evening of entertaining, campy fun.  My only complaint is to the Sven Squad--You are entertaining of a kind, but can't you all take it down a notch??????????



                                       Let's hope "Svengoolie" offers a better batch next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elyse Knox was the mother of actor Mark Harmon!!
