#31NightsofHorror Day 2 - Leonard Maltin's Tequila-Infused Review of "The Mummy" (1932)

Write a film review of the movie, The Mummy in the voice of Leonard Maltin after he has had too many tequila shots. Attempt to show slurred speech and abrupt stops in his thought process.


"Okay, okay, listen up, folks... hic... So, there's this movie, right? 'The Mummy.' Classic. Absolute... hic... classic. Boris Karloff? Man, that guy... he's the real deal. He's got that... that face, you know? All wrapped up in bandages and... stuff. hic

Now, the plot... it's about love. And mummies. And... curses? Yeah, curses. Imhotep, that's Karloff, he's all like... "I want my love!" And then there's this lady, and she's all... "Whoa, you're a mummy!" It's deep, man. Real deep. hic

The cinematography? Oh boy... it's... it's... what's the word? Atmospheric! Yeah, that's it. It's like... foggy and dark and... hic... moody. Real moody. Universal, they knew how to make 'em back then. Monsters and... and... stuff.

But here's the thing... hic... the real thing. This movie? It's about love. And death. And... and bandages. Lots of bandages. And Karloff? Man, he's just... he's just great. I mean, who else could play a mummy like that? Nobody, that's who.

So, in conclusion... hic... 'The Mummy'? It's a... it's a masterpiece. A real... hic... gem. If you haven't seen it, you gotta... you just gotta. Cheers!" clinks glass
The ancient mummy, its body preserved by centuries of burial, steps out of the pyramid, its shadow stretching across the desert sands as the moon is obscured by a hazy orange fog.
