Exploring the history of mummies in movies, the program features an assortment of classic clips from films centered around the wrapped-up, centuries-old Egyptian monsters. Along with archived interviews with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, this film also includes segments dealing with zombies and other specimens of the walking dead.
