I Want My Mummy


I started my own little personal marathon of old Universal horror and Sci-Fi movies. I watched "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" (1943, Lon Chaney Jr. & Bela Lugosi), and "The Mummy" (1932, Boris Karloff) last night. I'm enjoying myself so far, hadn't seen the Mummy since I was a young teenager, and had never seen "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man". I can't wait till I'm finished with this math class I'm taking, so I have time for the more important things in life, like watching monster movies.
