The Mummy's Curse (1944) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
The Mummy's Curse is a 1944 American horror film directed by Leslie Goodwins. Produced by Universal Pictures, it is the fifth entry in Universal's original Mummy franchise, serving as a sequel to The Mummy's Ghost (1944). It marks Lon Chaney Jr.'s final appearance as Kharis, an Egyptian mummy.
In the first Kharis film, The Mummy's Hand (1940), the character was played by Western-film actor Tom Tyler, while the three subsequent films, The Mummy's Tomb (1942), The Mummy's Ghost (1944), and The Mummy's Curse (also 1944), starred Lon Chaney Jr. in the role.
When Universal rebooted the story with The Mummy's Hand, the character (played by Tyler, a former Western star of silent and early talkies) was called Kharis, with little or no connection to the original film.
