I love the VHS room, it reminds me old-timey small local video rental places, or the movie room in libraries
DankFunkyJam, yes. Great old days.
The one in my home town was hidden inside a video store, probably because it's illegal. Now it's gone, of course.
Mogi whats illegal about a VHS room
Depends on the VHSs ;)
I guess James thought the same thing and started the new Rentals series in that room.
James you should be a film professor
He should have an honorary Phd in movie history :D
I concur, given his education on the older movies and video games I’m not supposed his collections haven’t been archived by the library of congress or something that big. If they do it to Lou Reeds music collection why not James’ collection?
He knows a lot about movies but not enough to go do something like that, I respect the fuck outta him though!
Love these videos.
Honestly isn't this way better than having or being a professor? James is fine the way he is. He doesn't need to be validated by academia and if he ever is, i hope he doesn't take it seriously. Academic posturing and games ruin plenty of fine minds.
film professor? that sounds useless
Have you ever danced with the mummy in the pale moonlight?
I ask that to all my prey. I just like the sound of it.
"Boris Karloff's face is so perfect", "Look at how tall he is", "the wardrobe really compliments his shape", "look at how his neck arches forward" - what a... sensual description, James :DDD
BorisxJames shipping confirmed!
BuzzKill What can he say, Boris Karloff is a total Chad
"Word to your mummy"
Monster Madness 80's a thon
you know what time it is, so don't go anywhere
"Da mommy's on da loose... and he's dancin wit yo mummy!"
good one
Intimidation yayis
James Rolfe the best youtuber
Impressed at proper pronunciation of Tut Ankh Amun ‘Living Image of Amun’
" He be dancin' with the devil!" I'll never forget it. When these hit VHS, I had no idea of their order when it came to the Lon Chaney Jr. films, so I went off of pictures I remembered as a kid. Bad idea!!! Me and my buddy bring one home and before we know it, he's turning to me saying, " When do we leave Louisiana and get back to Egypt?" I lower my head and sheepishly say, " Soon... I hope."
3rd guy asks, "What happened here?"
Guy at 21:47: The dancing is on the loose and the devil's with the mummy!
I'm watching this in 2019 gearing up for another monster madness. James is undoubtedly be greatest film reviewer in the history of CZcams. not to mention he's not too bad at reviewing crappy video games. Oh and he's the only person that I will sit and watch a video about a cardboard piece from a movie.
Yes, that analysis of a piece of cardboard was quite enlightening...
I agree
gotta love the subtitles: "Sit on massacres"
the lighting is so atmospheric in that 30s rendition. whoa.
5:29 Holy cow, that woman looks exactly like Drew Barrymore, at least in that still-shot.
Good catch.
Wow now that you mention it she does look like her
I watched the movie, and she really looks like her.
The mummy is such an underrated monster. Simple, but effective (if done right)
I'd love james narrating over silent movies with various "fuck"s and whatnot
I really enjoy these monster movie madness reviews!
Still wish Hammer Films made that Vampirella before they went under. it was suppose to be their last film, but it did not happen.
No it happened
I wish _Nessie_ got made.
@@modest1989 a Vampirella film was made but Hammer wasn't the one to make it
Who would have played Vampirella?
My Vote would be Martine Bewick.
I love James' movie reviews! Especially when he's reviewing old classic films!
Thank you James for all these years of classic movie history and hilarious the nerd videos. You're an absolute legend.
The Mummy: A really good tasting and quality cookie
Mummy's Hand: A Girl Scout cookie. Pretty good, can be enjoyed often, but not perfect.
Mummy's tomb: A stale, shitty tasting cookie. But with a few ok tasting chocolate chips.
It would be interesting to see a film where Imhotep controls Karys. It could combine the sophistication of Imhotep with the brute strength of Karys, making a dynamic mummy duo.
I would like that a lot. The Sommers films came close, with Imhotep having "lesser mummies" to serve him.
Here's a possible twist: the two end up fighting EACH OTHER at the end!
I'll say this, Zita Johann was an absolutely gorgeous woman.
10:25 My favorite part of the Mummy Marathon.
24:00 Grand Moff Tarkin vs Count Dooku.
Who??? :p
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were in the Hammer version of The Mummy
@@michaelbandada9887 and on Horror Express
18:03 oh my god, dude, are you okay?
Oh wow, that must have hurt.
Oh my God that was funny
James how do you have such an amazing collection of everything? A video game collection nearly unparalleled. A board game collection I would love to play through the entirety of with you, and now a movie collection i could only dream of. I love these more chill videos with you talking more critically and emotionally about a movie I must say. Keep up the good work, and the amazing collecting
He is the best like that
My favorite monster movie of all time.
Karloff is Amazing as The Mummy and love the 1999 movie as well.
Nobody
Townsfolk: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol
That was before radio, TV and Internet. You'd lit up torches too and join an angry mob of it was the only means of entertainment
@@alexsilva28 THIS IS TRUE
Great to see all the classic Mummy reviews in one video. Your analysis of all the films is of course excellent.
James tweeted this on the Cinemassacre twitter account a few days ago. "Been busy working on AVGN. Enjoy E3, to whoever's going/watching."
Relax guys. The nerd will be here soon.
Please, let me hug your legs you good sir.
WOOHOO! i cant wait to see what James rants about this time, usually when something is featured in a nerd video, there is at least SOME level of bullshit going on in the featured game/s.
What makes me sad is that he's putting all this time and effort into making a Nerd episode as good as a full feature-length film and only gets 2 million views, roughly, whereas other CZcamsrs are posting less edited videos and are doubling, even tripling, that.
hey, i love when James is being passionate, but at the same time, i still wanna see the series that made me subscribe to James from the get go, and that is through The Angry Video Game Nerd.
@@UltimateGamerCC this is late but he does have children and family
Whether it's video games, horror movies, or music, your passion for whatever it is you're talking about is infectious and makes me wanna check it out. Thanks for everything you do James.
MONSTER MADNESS!!!!
IDHLEB what
Keeping a list of all the movies you review or recommend. So when I have time I'll have a classic horror marathon.
SuperSaiyanJago I only thought it was a recent play, not a musical back in the 40's. and when Joel Schumacher remade it, it was crap.
SuperSaiyanJago Adding it to my list. Plus my wife loves that musical.
@Tim Tam-You need to check out his review for the horror movie Link, then. That looks like one of the interesting horror films.
James you should do the original "the day the earth stood still" that movie was amazing way better than the remake
Brilliant! Thanks for the love you put in details as well as stepping back to give us an overview and bigger understandment for these old movies. Step after step you let my interest grow and take away my stupid automatism to just compare the old movies with the new ones. Thanks James :)
14:16...That random disco/funk music really cracks me up!
I don’t know if it was intentional, but Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula (specifically the romantic subplot) seems heavily inspired by The Mummy.
Back in the day (1999) I remember going to an outside movie theater to see The Mummy...💯✔️
Worth noting that the original The Mummy owes quite a lot to H. Rider Haggard's novel She: an immortal trying to reconnect with her/his old flame, now reincarnated.
I always enjoyed watching the Kharis series from the 40s more than the original from '32--they were just more fun.
I just saw this movie. I can see where movies like Predator, Jumanji, and other "being hunted" movies get their inspiration
Boris Karloffice
*Fuchs
oh my god, it's Fred Fuchs...
Love Chaney Jr??
It's Mix Shrecks!
...Which is not found funny by kindergarden studends or aliens...

I feel that The Mummy is a combination of Frankensteins monster and Dracula.
Zita johanne in The mummy 1932 has the best quote in movie history.. “ do you need to open graves to find girls to fall in love with “ ewwww necrophilia
I always feel sorry for Christopher Lee in the 1959 Mummy. Mostly because of the scene when he gets shot. Those squibs apparently gave him burn marks for days.
Lost my sh*t at the "Mummy sipping Vodka" part. xD
For me, it was the "Devil's on the loose, and he's dancing with the mummy!" bit. Too funny! :)
"The loose is on the mummy, he's deviling with the dance!"
I had a Screwdriver last night. One Shot Crystal Skull and one shot Outer Space.
I didn't I know Pete Best was in The Mad Ghoul. You learn something new every day.
In the next episode, we will cover the Daddy's
And then the Sissies.
I love these old video of yours!!
I found all of these from watching AVGN episodes that I've watched over the years but I hadnt watched any of the other videos on here. What I really love about these, other than the classic horror movies are great, is how much you really seem to revere and respect them.
You can really see it in your reviews and it reminds me of when I was a kid and watching them
the '99 mummy tho, indiana jones meets something from a nightmare, loved that movie, the sequels were entertaining, but the '99 film has got to be the best of all the mummy movies yet in my opinion, including that new adorable one.
God damn it I just love Cinemassacre
I enjoy the Universal Mummy series but for me the best Mummy movie ever made was the Hammer version with Cushing and Lee
The male lead in Dracula in the mummy is David manners not manneling!
THE DEVILS ON THE LOOSE AND HES DANCING WITH THE MUMMY!!!
I lost my shit
You should do this for the Hammer Frankenstein and Dracula movies! When the videos are all together in one it works better I think. Thanks for the great videos James!
Nailed it with the slasher franchise analogy. I've been saying that for years. One of the reasons I've always loved the classic Universal Mummy films, and had no use whatsoever for the more recent adventure-oriented takes on the character.
Well, Clarice - have the lambs stopped screaming?
Aw man, wish you'd done a separate series for the Hammer ones instead of just that quick blurb at the end.
Ehh I'm searching, not seeing any aside from these. Only the Hammer Dracula series.
omg i saw the title and freaked!! im sitting back and just gonna enjoy this one!!
Just seeing Monster Madness appear in my sub feed makes me think it's halloween XD
I have never seen any of these movies and I probably never will but I love to hear James talk about them
Nostalgia Critic Mummy Review sent me here.
James muffle-swearing as the mummy was amazing
i recently saw the 32 mummy. i had thought i had seen it as a kid but i never saw this mummy. i thought it pretty dull except when karloff was on the screen. he was terrific!!! and skinny, good lord was he skinny!!
I would love to see you and Mike revisit these classics together and hear his opinion on them.
I choose to beleive that its van helsing in both dracula and the mummy
Boris Karloff’s Imhotep use Ardeth Bay’s name as an alias while in the Mummy Trilogy, Ardeth Bay is a Medjai who’s a buddy of the O’Connell Family in their fight against Imhotep
I'm loving this old school film content.
2013-2020 and still watching thanks avgn yu rock, pass me a rollin rock cheers🍺
13:25 This line has stuck with me in a major way. Sometimes I'll find myself binging a show or video series and in the back of my head I think "I could be watchin' all the mummy movies"
Huh… so The Mummy really was essentially a Proto-Slasher film. Imagine if the remake in the ‘90’s had stuck true to that, rather than becoming an Adventure film.
Damn Karloff that neck be reachin 🦒
These have all been great, thanks James!!!
alright, mummy reviews. now im back in the past.......again.
There was the all -new Laurel and Hardy name for love or Mummy
Even with the end of Monster Madness, you still love making horror movie reviews.
I love everything you did with the monsters!!
In Egyptian mythology didn't Isis bring her husband Osiris back from the dead, although that was after he was cut to pieces by Set.
Just watched the mummy review and now this lel
snork
same
I wonder if Father Karras in the Exorcist is named so because of the Mummy films. Both feature a character falling down a long flight of stairs.
Just what I needed!
Props for getting through "buried alive for the sacrilege of stealing a sacred scroll" and "where Kharis and Ananka sank in the swamp" lol
I'm actually related to Boris Karloff, glad to see someone appreciating his work.
Liar
Ramsay Ames was fabulously beautiful, I am surprised James gave her no mention
The devil's on the loose and he's dancing with the mummy!
I remember Mummy from Goosebumps. All what Mummy was doing is standing in one place, moving his hands and screaming.
If you think about it James always comes of the moms and dads section before talking about the movies
You joke but I’d laugh if he actually has a moms and dads section in his movie rental store looking setup
I know James hates CGI with a fiery passion, but I'd love to hear an in-depth review of the 1999 remake.
A slasher mummy movie would be PERFECT right now. I've been begging for a new slasher movie. If it meant bringing the mummy back im all for it. Have him have a spear, able to break necks and backs. Would be nice to see and restart the dark universe the right way
These are so cool and I haven't even sat down to watch these films yet
The Mummy was awesome and I love Dracula and Frankenstein. Mummy is my favorite.
I friggin love these videos
lol look at the box, total Abe Vigoda face, "Abe Vigoda's The Mummy"
Can't wait for monster madness 2017!!! Don't believe the hype, it will be back!
Monster madness! Always a good watch!
The 'cutting out of the tongue ' scene was TASTELESS 😂
I'm scared. I want my Mummy.
It's too bad you can't use the full clips on CZcams.
Gonna miss Monster Madness here in a few months.
