Boris Karloff - The Mummy / 1932

Iconic movie poster of the film: THE MUMMY / 1932.

The Mummy is a 1932 American pre-Code supernatural horror film directed by Karl Freund, and starring Boris Karloff, Zita Johann, David Manners, Edward Van Sloan, and Arthur Byron. The screenplay by John L. Balderston was adapted from a treatment written by Nina Wilcox Putnam and Richard Schayer. Released by Universal Studios as a part of the Universal Monsters franchise, the film features Karloff as Imhotep, an ancient Egyptian mummy who was killed for attempting to resurrect his dead lover, Anck-es-en-Amon. After being discovered and accidentally brought to life by a team of archaeologists, he disguises himself as a modern Egyptian named Ardath Bey and searches for Anck-es-en-Amon, who he believes has been reincarnated in the modern world.

Universal released The Mummy theatrically in the United States on December 22, 1932. While less profitable than its predecessors Dracula and Frankenstein, The Mummy was still a commercial and critical success, becoming culturally influential and spawning several sequels, spin-offs, remakes, and reimaginings. The film and its sequels cemented the mummy archetype as a staple of the horror genre and Halloween festivities.

Approximate size: 60 x 91,5 cm.

This poster is part of a collection inspired by old summer movie revivals, video stores, and repertory theaters. They are not original vintage release posters, nor are they conventional modern reproductions: they aim to recapture the aesthetic, the visual wear and tear, and the character of those copies that once hung on awnings, in store windows, and on the walls of video stores.

Each piece is reinterpreted with a nostalgic and cinematic approach, as if it were part of the film’s second life decades after its original release.

All posters have been selected by movie lovers for movie lovers.
