July 7, 1944 –
Universal Pictures releases the sequel to The Mummy’s Tomb, The Mummy’s Ghost, directed by Reginald Le Borg and starring Lon Chaney, Jr. and John Carradine, in U.S. theaters on this date.
Lon Chaney Jr. often said that being made up as the Mummy character was his least favourite make-up. There is a photo of the actor on set during production of The Mummy’s Ghost where he is pinching his own nose in disgust.
