Tonight we unwrap the 1940s Universal Mummy films! Leaving behind the melancholy tone of the 1932 Boris Karloff original, we were introduced to a new mummy, Kharis, a shambling and bandaged silent avenger played first by Tom Tyler in 1940’s The Mummy’s Hand, celebrating its 85th anniversary, and by Lon Chaney Jr. in three subsequent sequels, The Mummy’s Tomb, The Mummy’s Ghost, and The Mummy’s Curse.

FREAKS (1932) movie review

Freaks (1932) d. Browning, Tod (USA)

Browning followed up his success with 1931's Dracula with this unique film focused on the microcosm of “oddity” circus performers under the traveling big top, based on Tod Robbins' short story "Spurs." The simple plot revolves around the beautiful, venomous trapeze artist Olga Baclanova toying with the affections of midget Harry Earles for his money while she dallies behind his back with resident strong man Henry Victor; but of equal interest is a peek into the backstage life of these extraordinary human permutations.
