Kevin McNally Presents…The Mummy
Kevin McNally Presents…Monsters!
Beloved writer, actor and Chiswick resident Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean, Cry Freedom, Doctor Who) presents a series of Halloween classics in an exclusive season at The Chiswick Cinema. Revisiting the Universal Monsters silent films throughout October, Kevin will introduce each screening cultivating a special Halloween Film Club. The films, approaching one hundred years old, remain as unsettling and as chilling as ever. Legends like Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Claude Rains and more are immortalised in inventive and chilling features that demand to be seen in the comfortable dark of the cinema auditorium. We bid you welcome…
The Mummy – 10th Oct
The Invisible Man – 17th Oct
Frankenstein – 24th Oct
Dracula – 31st Oct
The cinema team are eternally grateful for Kevin’s ongoing personal support of the cinema and are delighted to present these films with him.
About The Mummy:
In 1921 a field expedition in Egypt discovers the mummy of ancient Egyptian prince Im-Ho-Tep, who was condemned and buried alive for sacrilege. Also found in the tomb is the Scroll of Thoth, which can bring the dead back to life. One night a young member of the expedition reads the Scroll out loud, and then goes insane, realizing that he has brought Im-Ho-Tep back to life. Ten years later, disguised as a modern Egyptian, the mummy attempts to reunite with his lost love, an ancient princess who has been reincarnated into a beautiful young woman.
