Got a chance this week to Dip into the 'Mummy Legacy Collection'. The great DVD box set of my almost favorite Universal Monster.
Still those questions of old beg to be answered:

> Did Im-Ho-Tep and Kharis at least know each other?? Drinking buddies??
Relatives??

> "Tanna Leaves" - how exactly does burning a leaf so dried it crackles
produce a liquid form??

> How does the Mummy always manage to find victims slower than he is??

> Between the Mummy's Hand and Mummy's Tomb (1940 & 1942) 30 years
were supposed to have passed. Too Bad nobody told the auto
manufacturers.

> How was it that at the end of 'Ghost' the Mummy & Anonka went into
Quicksand in the New England area only to emerge in the Louisiana
Bayou area in 'Curse'

> In 'Curse' Was I the only one hoping the Mummy would strangle 'Hero'
Robert Lowery?? Could they possibly find a bigger geek??

Still those questions of old beg to be answered:

> Did Im-Ho-Tep and Kharis at least know each other?? Drinking buddies??
Relatives?? They were actually twin brothers. Hence the close resemblance.


> "Tanna Leaves" - how exactly does burning a leaf so dried it crackles
produce a liquid form?? The leaves aren't burned, they're mixed with water to create a Tanna Tea. It's very tasty!

> How does the Mummy always manage to find victims slower than he is?? He's a very lucky fellow!

> Between the Mummy's Hand and Mummy's Tomb (1940 & 1942) 30 years
were supposed to have passed. Too Bad nobody told the auto
manufacturers. In the first movie, the cars were concept cars of the future.
In the second, it's obvious some of the cars in it were classics.

> How was it that at the end of 'Ghost' the Mummy & Anonka went into
Quicksand in the New England area only to emerge in the Louisiana
Bayou area in 'Curse' It was a very deep bog.

> In 'Curse' Was I the only one hoping the Mummy would strangle 'Hero'
Robert Lowery?? Could they possibly find a bigger geek?? Yes, you were. They could have, but geeks are paid by the pound. A bigger geek would have cost more. The budget didn't allow that.
