The Hill of the Seven Jackals
The Official Site of Kharis the
Mummy!
Updated July 1'st,
2003
Click to view exciting scenes from the mummy's films!
Be patient while this page loads
and
you'll hear the jackals howl!
This
is the official site of Kharis, a character who lumbered through four classic
Universal horror films in the forties and found a place in the hearts of
countless fans. Today, he sleeps almost forgotten in the shadow of the
Frankenstein monster, Dracula, and the Wolf Man. But in spite of falling into
virtual obscurity, Kharis never really died!
Tana leaves bubble again in the sacred brazier, and a new
High Priest of Karnak prepares to give life and movement to Kharis! Listen!
Jackals howl about the tombs of the Pharaohs, and the full moon bathes the Nile
with mystic light. Join us under the stars of Egypt as we explore
The Hill of the Seven Jackals!
Check It Out!

Kharis

One by getting too
friendly with the most recent reincarnation
of the lovely
princess Ananka! Click here to see what happened!

Fans, Don't Miss These!
The mummy sub-genre
has been around far longer than
the Kharis films, and these two eerie essays
are examples
of the scary mummy tale at its best!
A Night With the
Mummies!
Read
Pierre Loti's macabre account of his nocturnal visit
to the Hall of Mummies in
the Cairo Museum. It's like
being at the Kharis family reunion! This page has
a really
sinister sound track and a link to a creepy moving
image
of the mummy of Nestanebetashru. an Egyptian
princess.
Believe me, she'll haunt your
dreams....
Into the Mummy's Tomb!
Another eerie adventure with the intrepid Pierre Loti!
This time he
descends into the darkened corridors and
shadowy chambers of Amenophis II's
tomb & and gazes
upon the withered flesh of an ancient
king
& his three long-dead companions.

Egyptian mummies on my
