The Profane Egyptologist E7. Halloween Special! Part 2 of Unwrapping The Mummy with Chris Kemble
Hello everyone and welcome to profane Egyptologists, the show where we discuss Egypt’s past in the present!
Today I’m joined once more by my friend, the award-winning horror film-maker Chris Kemble, as we discuss 2017s remake of the Universal film, The Mummy! This is part TWO of a two-part episode where we’ll dig into both the Egyptology and film-history that this movie taps into.
As a specialist in the horror genre Chris is uniquely positioned to give insight into this film, and as a non-Egyptologist he asks many questions I might not consider. I hope you enjoy this format, feel free to send me feedback on twitter (@doc_harrison), and please, if you like the show, subscribe on iTunes and rate and review, as that really helps us spread the word and raise the show’s profile!
Now buckle up for part 2 of our Halloween special as we explore the world of …The Mummy…
