How The New Mummy Movie Fits into a Secret Horror Shared Universe

After successfully reimagining the Evil Dead story, Lee Cronin turned his attention to another classic horror series: The Mummy. His The Mummy is a reboot of Universal’s long-running franchise – which started in 1932 with Lon Chaney – and leans heavily into horror, earning an R rating. While quite different from previous Mummy films, Cronin cleverly connected it to his Evil Dead universe. He revealed in an interview with Collider that a professor character in The Mummy shares a family name with characters from Evil Dead Rise.
