Sven- The Mummy

From Wiki-  The Mummy is a 1932 American pre-Code supernatural horror film directed by Karl Freund. 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 stars Boris Karloff, Zita Johann, David Manners, Edward Van Sloan and Arthur Byron.

In the film, Karloff stars 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, whom he believes has been reincarnated in the modern world. Me again:

I saw all the Universal Mummy movies growing up several times, though most of them were the sequels.  I had forgotten most of this one, and when I viewed it again in the 90s I was surprised at how little time that Karloff spent in full Mummy regalia.  It is also quite slow, but it is a really good movie.  Just the look of it alone is worth the watch, and the story is good.  So much that it has influenced all Mummy movies since then.
