" He be dancin' with the devil!" I'll never forget it. When these hit VHS, I had no idea of their order when it came to the Lon Chaney Jr. films, so I went off of pictures I remembered as a kid. Bad idea!!! Me and my buddy bring one home and before we know it, he's turning to me saying, " When do we leave Louisiana and get back to Egypt?" I lower my head and sheepishly say, " Soon... I hope."

I love these old video of yours!!

I didn't I know Pete Best was in The Mad Ghoul. You learn something new every day.

James you should do the original "the day the earth stood still" that movie was amazing way better than the remake

Back in the day (1999) I remember going to an outside movie theater to see The Mummy...💯✔️

I don’t know if it was intentional, but Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula (specifically the romantic subplot) seems heavily inspired by The Mummy.

I have never seen any of these movies and I probably never will but I love to hear James talk about them

Worth noting that the original The Mummy owes quite a lot to H. Rider Haggard's novel She: an immortal trying to reconnect with her/his old flame, now reincarnated.

I feel that The Mummy is a combination of Frankensteins monster and Dracula.

Zita johanne in The mummy 1932 has the best quote in movie history.. “ do you need to open graves to find girls to fall in love with “ ewwww necrophilia

I just saw this movie. I can see where movies like Predator, Jumanji, and other "being hunted" movies get their inspiration

Just seeing Monster Madness appear in my sub feed makes me think it's halloween XD

Damn Karloff that neck be reachin 🦒

I always feel sorry for Christopher Lee in the 1959 Mummy. Mostly because of the scene when he gets shot. Those squibs apparently gave him burn marks for days.

I always enjoyed watching the Kharis series from the 40s more than the original from '32--they were just more fun.

These have all been great, thanks James!!!

Nailed it with the slasher franchise analogy. I've been saying that for years. One of the reasons I've always loved the classic Universal Mummy films, and had no use whatsoever for the more recent adventure-oriented takes on the character.

I'm scared. I want my Mummy.

I found all of these from watching AVGN episodes that I've watched over the years but I hadnt watched any of the other videos on here. What I really love about these, other than the classic horror movies are great, is how much you really seem to revere and respect them. You can really see it in your reviews and it reminds me of when I was a kid and watching them

God damn it I just love Cinemassacre

I enjoy the Universal Mummy series but for me the best Mummy movie ever made was the Hammer version with Cushing and Lee

Even with the end of Monster Madness, you still love making horror movie reviews.

i recently saw the 32 mummy. i had thought i had seen it as a kid but i never saw this mummy. i thought it pretty dull except when karloff was on the screen. he was terrific!!! and skinny, good lord was he skinny!!

I'm loving this old school film content.

I love everything you did with the monsters!!

I choose to beleive that its van helsing in both dracula and the mummy

I friggin love these videos

Props for getting through "buried alive for the sacrilege of stealing a sacred scroll" and "where Kharis and Ananka sank in the swamp" lol

I wonder if Father Karras in the Exorcist is named so because of the Mummy films. Both feature a character falling down a long flight of stairs.

I remember Mummy from Goosebumps. All what Mummy was doing is standing in one place, moving his hands and screaming.

The 'cutting out of the tongue ' scene was TASTELESS 😂

Hey James have you ever considered reviewing the literature that the classic horror films are based on? Like Bram Stokers original Dracula novel or Mary Shelly's Frankenstein? I never took you much for a reader but I bet you could make some good content off of the books.
