The monster Mummy midterm

It's time to rise from the dead for a super-fun quiz!

 

If the mere mention of "midterms" doesn't send a shiver down your spine, the movie will!

Boris Karloff, the titan of terror, is back in macabre makeup. Here, he teams with famed cinematographer Karl Freund to bring not just shocks but atmosphere to a slower, more ambling monster and movie. 

We've transcribed the following quiz from ancient hieroglyphics found deep beneath the MeTV catacombs.

Where does The Mummy rank amongst your Universal favorites? Are you wrapped up in the details, or will this quiz bury you alive? Find out, and be sure to share your thoughts and your score with your fellow archaeologists in the comments section below!

Watch Svengoolie on MeTV!

Only 1 out of 10. Seriously. Maybe because mummies just aren't scary. I mean, you can just walk away from them. It's not like they've been practicing with the high school track & field team... they shamble along, as if they're waiting for turtles to get out of their way.

I have and watch them all, and still only got 4/10. I'll have to start paying attention to the credits.

For some reason, I never cared for Mummy movies. There's just something about mummies that isn't scary... maybe it's the fact that all you have to do is start pulling bandages, and before you know it, the mummy is just another rotting corpse - like most of the people I work alongside.

I think this is my least favorite Universal movie franchise, but, on a cold fall or winter day...if you're feeling under the weather, there's nothing better than putting on the Universal MUMMY movies; they wrap you up like...bandages...

Love the old Universal monsters.

The 1932 Mummy didn't have sequels as such. Reimaginings would be a better way to describe the 1940s films, and A & C Meet the Mummy. Which I have to agree is actually pretty darned good.
Grew up with the Universal monsters on Shock Theater, then Friday Nght Chillers after the late news, etc.
PS I love Kolchak, but the series needs to be given a rest for a while. Only 20 episodes.

It would be nice if they could show the two tv movies that preceded the series. Even if they have to show each movie in two parts.

OH MeTV, When are you going to take M*A*S*H OFF YOUR SCHEDULE PERMANENTLY? It's waaaay past time that you did. Nobody wants it anymore!
HpHoward JeffPaul76 14 months ago
You got THAT right, friend.
cheduff JeffPaul76 14 months ago
It’s sad but I flip the TV off when M*A*S*H* comes on. It’s hard enough watching Gary Burghoff on Match Game ‘74.

I cannot stand Alan Alda. He had to be the center of every episode.
Reason i do not like MASH.
