Need some info on the Mummy (1932) |
Lead | |

Hey gang, I'm writing a review of the new Moebius model kit of the Mummy for the IPMSUSA Journal. Though I will probably go home and watch the film
tonight, I'm wondering if I can get some trivia right now to put in my review. Are the Scrolls that Im-Ho-Tep reads to bring his beloved alive again called
the Scrolls of Toth? Please let me know if I have the right name. Thanks, mjb

I think it's spelled "Thoth" instead of "Toth."

It's Thoth. Toth is a comic-book artist.

That's what I thot.
Plus, I think there's only one Scroll. |

"there's only one Scroll"
(I thoughth it was a plain title Card, not a Scroll...?) |

It was a Thcroll.

Thee how eathy it ith to thpell like Ardath Bey?
Neither Card nor Scroll, wasn't it a little rotating miniature (like a Popeye cartoon)? |

At the Head, yes; I was thinking of That Good Cast, Worth Repeating!

Was "Ardath" just a lisping mispronunciation of "Hard-ass"?

I believe it is singular and is referred to as The Scroll of Thoth. It is mentioned in writing in an art card at the beginning of the film so you can confirm
it when you watch it.

Actually, it was originally the Scroll of Soth ... but, with Karloff's lisp ...

Didn't Toth go after the Pieta with a hammer?

I thoughth it was a plain title CardYour thinking of the 8mm subtitled edition. Didn't Toth go after the Pieta with a hammer?Only in the Christopher Lee remake. |

As the little kid once said to a disgruntled archaeologist in one of those deleted MUMMY scenes, "Well, goth, mithter, you thaid it wath a pith
helmet."

LOL What a gang. Thanks for the help. Yes, this morning I watched the beginning and without a lisp, it's the Scroll of Thoth.
