| 9781524788483 | What Is the Story of the Mummy? | Sheila Keenan, Who HQ | Your favorite characters are now part of the Who HQ library! The Mummy joins other classic horror characters Dracula and Frankenstein in our What Is the Story Of? series. Unlike the other classic Universal horror movie monsters of their time, the Mummy's origins can't be found in the pages of a book. His story was inspired by the opening of King Tut's tomb in 1922. The world fell in love with all things Egyptian and was enthralled with stories of ancient mummies. The film producers of the early Dracula and Frankenstein films wasted no time creating a character who's been creeping out of his coffin and entertaining audiences since 1932. Author Sheila Keenan explains the history of the movie and its remakes, the legendary curse of King Tut's mummy, and what lies ahead for this monstrous creature. | Penguin |

Then they think they've won big when they get a FREE souvenir from HorrorLand's Chiller House-and they're not so worried that the shopkeeper said they'd have to pay later. Or that the hound's tooth is rumored to be haunted. It's totally worth the risk to have a tooth that grants wishes. But when Andy hears howling at night and Marnie starts acting strange, they begin to rethink the gift from HorrorLand. Unlucky book #13 kicks off an entirely new type of terror that will keep you guessing and quaking until book #19.
