Oct 16, 2023 · The Kharis films began in 1940 with The Mummy’s Hand, in which the character was played by Tom Tyler. Lon Chaney Jr., who also became famous as the Wolf Man around this time, played Kharis in the follow-up films The Mummy’s Tomb (1942), The Mummy’s Ghost (1944) and The Mummy’s Curse (1944).
Thanks to the procurement of some tanna leaves by sinister Egyptologist Izor Zandaab (Peter Coe) and his creepy-looking henchman Ragheb (Martin Kosleck), Kharis is up and around once again, seeking the reincarnation of his lost love Ananka (Virginia Christine, who would later portray Folgers coffee pitchwoman Mrs. Olsen).
After being buried in quicksand for the past 25 years, Kharis is set free to roam the rural bayous of Louisiana, as is the soul of his beloved Princess Ananka, still housed in the body of Amina Mansouri, who seeks help and protection at a swamp draining project. Leslie Goodwins. Director. Bernard Schubert. Screenplay.
