« Last post by LoboLives on Yesterday at 10:53:57 AM »One of my favorite horror monsters of all time is The Mummy. I absolutely loved the Universal series with Lon Chaney Jr as Kharis slowly stalking and terrorizing the defilers of his princess' tomb.
But it was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1892 short story "Lot 249" which the first piece of literature to portray a re-animated mummy as dangerous. The story inspired the subgenre heavily and there were countless adaptations.
One such adaptation was a segment from Tales From The Darkside: The Movie (1990). The adaptation actually was more humorous and featured a lot of slasher-esq elements. Almost a parody of the sub genre.
The music for Tales From The Darkside: The Movie was actually composed by no less than 5 composers. One of which was Jim Manzie doing the music for the Lot 249 segment. I've spoken about Manzie in the past on my Pumpkinhead 2 and Leatherface videos.
This was approached much more as a suite rather than a specific cue. Lots of ethnic type sounds, acoustic bass from the Prophet X's library as well as some EMU samples of strings and modified PX's samples mimicking some of the sounds Manzie was using constantly on his scores (the string plucks and scrapes with chorus and delay, filtered choir sounds etc).
I think it turned out pretty good.
Hope you enjoy
