"Burn the scroll, man. Burn it! It was through you this horror came into existence!"

Take a moment and imagine what modern horror would be without Universal Pictures. Without founder Carl Laemmle and his vision for the future of cinema, or his son Carl Laemmle Jr., who inherited the keys to the studio kingdom in 1928, when talkies were rapidly displacing silent films and promising groundbreaking new strides in moviemaking and the movie-going experience. Without early horror pioneers like Tod Browning, James Whale, Karl Freund, George Waggner or Jack Arnold. Without iconic creature actors Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Claude Rains, Lon Chaney, Jr., Elsa Lanchester or Ben Chapman. Without Dracula, the indispensable 1931 classic that left a more lasting mark on vampire movies and lore than any other vampire film before or after (save Nosferatu). Or Frankenstein, which pushed boundaries, shocked audiences and has been received with overwhelming enthusiasm ever since. The Mummy, bold in its atmosphere and unforgettable in its tragic romance. The Invisible Man, which features some of the most astonishing special effects and perhaps one of the most unnerving depictions of mounting madness of the era. The Bride of Frankenstein, a complex, wickedly funny, altogether unpredictable sequel that in many regards surpasses its predecessor. The Wolf Man, a once-chilling character drama that examines the frailty of man and the beast within. Phantom of the Opera, though more a twisted love story than a traditional horror picture, a film that nevertheless caused some theaters to stock smelling salts in in the event that a moviegoer fainted upon the removal of the Phantom's mask. Or Creature from the Black Lagoon, which frightened audiences above the water and below with a scaly monster unlike any they had seen before. Needless to say, modern horror, and really the genre in whole, would be completely different than what we know.

Genre king Boris Karloff elevated Frankenstein to another level. Just one year later, he did it again, this time in director Karl Freund's The Mummy, starring Karloff as cursed immortal Imhotep, Zita Johann as the woman who bears a striking resemblance to the long-dead lover he hopes to resurrect, Edward Van Sloan as wizened archaeologist Sir Joseph Whemple, and David Manners as his son, who muscles his way in to protect the damsel from the undead Egyptian priest. Johann isn't the only one who bears a striking resemblance to a specter of the past. The Mummy lifts more than a few plot points from Dracula, and does so rather brazenly. And why did producer Carl Laemmle Jr. anoint Freund to helm the project? In 1931, Freund was the cinematographer on, you guessed it, Dracula. Still, the newly promoted director wasn't oblivious to the similarities, nor was screenwriter John L. Balderston, who managed to further separate Imhotep from the Count. The Mummy doesn't simply sit on screen either, waiting for Karloff to do his thing (which he does anyway, brilliantly I might add, with grim gravitas and disarming ease). The dark romance at the heart of the tale both resonates and agitates, the creature itself is a more subtle but no less provocative marriage of man and monster than Frankenstein's hulking giant, and Imhotep's piercing eyes, weary countenance and disquieting patience makes for a more menacing adversary. And then there's Jack P. Pierce's ragged mummy, which only appears on screen for a few minutes but remains one of the legendary makeup artist's most iconic creations.
