    Another selection from my ancient library of cheap thrifted DVD’s is Stephen Sommer’s reboot the original Universal Studios 1932 American film The Mummy in 1999 starring the American-Canadian actor Brendan Fraser. More an action film that follows the basic premise/plot of Karl Freund’s 1932 horror film.

    This 1999 version achieved considerable success in the Box office leading into various entertainment products and a franchise that produced; 2001 The Mummy Returns and 2008 The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. A spinoff series The Scorpion King ran from 2002 to 2018 with six films.

    And in typical Hollywood practice, if something makes money, run with it until it doesn’t.

    Have I run into Mummies in my Ghost Hunting?

    Ha ha.

    Actually twice.

    First time was fourteen years ago when my children and I were treated for a client paid two week holiday cruise to Alaska. The kids joined into the ship's child care program running an Egyptian theme. My elder boy was wrapped up in toilet paper from head to foot into an adorable mummy and he had a blast.
    My apologies, I can't find the photo.

    Second time was at an awesome Beyond Tutankhamun exhibit in November 2022 at the Vancouver Convention center. The tickets were over $30 each plus tax for adults, considering us meeting with ancient royalty this was a bargain.
