What is the story of the mummy? / by Sheila Keenan ; illustrated by Carlos Basabe.
"The Mummy's story was inspired by the opening of King Tut's tomb in 1922. The film producers of the early Dracula and Frankenstein films wasted no time creating a character who's been creeping out of his coffin and entertaining audiences since 1932. Author Sheila Keenan explains the history of the movie and its remakes, the legendary curse of King Tut's mummy, and what lies ahead for this monstrous creature"-- Provided by publisher.
