I picked up the new dvd of The Mummy (1932) this week from HMV in their two for £10 offer.
Although i already own the film and it's many sequels this one intrigued me thanks to it having a bonus disc.
My current copy (which includes The Creature from the Black Lagoon) features a commentary and a 30 minute documentary - Mummy Dearest.
This new release adds He Who Made Monsters: The Life and Art of Jack Pierce - a half hour documentary, an 8 minute Legacy of the Mummy feature and a 90 minute Universal Horror documentary charting the history of the Universal Monsters.
The release, at least on dvd, sports a lovely thick card slip case (or are they called O-cards) with a gorgeous papyrus like texture, or in laymans terms - not glossy. There is a sticker on the slipcase but it will come off.
Even if you have The Mummy on dvd or bluray i think it's worth buying it again for the Universal documentary and slipcase.
