The Mummy!

I like movies I’m a fan of the old B/W horror films you saw as a kid. Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf and the Mummy.
The Mummy movies were more convincing because it was steeped in so much fact and you could see a real “live” one in the Museum at Kelvingrove (Glasgow) I would be transfixed for hours waiting for the bugger to twitch, of course if it did, even by a breeze, you would have been mentally scarred for life.

The thing about those movies was they all had the same plot, the Mummy, the slowest thing on the planet would chase people, with that slow exaggerated walk with arms outstretched.
I mean your granny on her zimmer could out run it, snails would slide up to them kick them run away or lap them. People never got caught by the Mummy they sort of ran into him or were brought to him by one of his cohorts.
And what was it that gave the Mummy life? What was it they were all looking for? So they could re-animated the Mummy? The book of life. There was always someone trying to recover this Book of Life from Lord someone or other. They would rob for it, kill for it, die for it! So they could get their hands on this Book of Life, this precious word.

Hmmm… I think I have an idea forming now....
What if we had a real Book of Life that saved the dead and made the world better too?
If only....
