The Mummy's Hand is a 1940 Universal Horror film, directed by Christy Cabanne.Steve Banning (Dick Foran) and his sidekick, Babe Jenson (Wallace Ford), are stuck in Egypt following largely unsuccessful efforts at archaeology. They get lucky when they discover a clue to the location of the Princess Ananka's tomb, and convince Solvani (Cecil Kellaway), a traveling magician, to fund an expedition there, on which Banning and Jenson are joined by Solvani and his daughter Marta (Peggy Moran). They all become targets of Andoheb (George Zucco), the high priest of a secret order charged with guarding the tomb and its Mummy Kharis (Tom Tyler).The Mummy's Hand is a reboot of The Mummy from 1932, exchanging the mummy Imhotep for the mummy Kharis but keeping the backstory all the same. It is also a Trope Codifier for the mummy-themed horror films.It was followed by three sequel films, all starring Lon Chaney Jr. as Kharis: The Mummy's Tomb (1942), The Mummy's Ghost (1944), and The Mummy's Curse (1944). It would later be remade as the Hammer Horror film The Mummy (1959), with Christopher Lee as Kharis and Peter Cushing as Banning. Its pulpier, more Two-Fisted Tales tone was also a big influence on the 1999 remake of the 1932 film. | |

Genre Savvy: Kharis can remember what happens in each film, and kills his master in the third one when he starts espousing the same plot as the last two. | |

Fantastic Flora: The tana plant, the leaves of which can be brewed into a liquid usable to reanimate Kharis. Supposedly, the plant the leaves come from has since gone extinct, but throughout the series the priests never seem to run out. | |
