Dragging His Features

Once a man, now a musty old mummy
He's uncanny, but crusty and crumb-y
But one nip of this brew
And his grip's good as new
For the tana he's just a big rummy.

Lon Chaney Jr. stars as Kharis in The Mummy's Hand (Christy Cabanne; 1940), the first Mummy film after Karloff played the character in 1932. From this point on. the Universal Mummy shambled silently, with a distinct morning-after look. But his only refreshment was a potion of tana leaves.
