The director insists that he didn't make any adjustments to the
script to fit the requirements of the studio's merchandising department.
But, now that the movie is complete, he switches back to being the
movie fan he was when he first saw Karloff rampaging across the
black-and-white screen on Saturday-morning television. And he will,
he says, be first in line to buy whatever tie-ins there are.
"I mean, I want my Mummy pillowcase and I'll buy a Mummy pinball
machine, and I know exactly what the CD-ROM game should be all about,"
he jokes. "And then there is something I mentioned a few months
ago and they got very excited about. I said, 'You know, the Universal
Studios Tour doesn't have a haunted house: what better than an ancient
Egyptian necropolis run by the Mummy and his pals?' I can't wait
for that ride. I'll be there!"
Imhotep sonks back into the dust.
