In 1932, The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff, introduced another icon to the classic monster pantheon, beginning a journey down the cinematic Nile that has yet to reach its end. Over the past century, movie mummies have met everyone from Abbott and Costello to Tom Cruise, not to mention a myriad of fellow monsters. Horrifying and mysterious, the mummy comes from a different time with uncommon knowledge and unique motivation, offering the lure of the exotic as well as the terrors of the dark. From obscure no-budgeters to Hollywood blockbusters, the mummy has featured in films from all over the globe, including Brazil, China, France, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, and even its fictional home country of Egypt--with each film bringing its own cultural sensibilities. Movie mummies have taken the form of teenagers, superheroes, dwarves, kung fu fighters, Satanists, cannibals and even mummies from outer space. Some can fly, some are sexy, some are scary and some are hilarious, and mummies quickly moved beyond horror cinema and into science fiction, comedy, romance, sexploitation and cartoons. From the Universal classics to the Aztec Mummy series, from Hammer's versions to Mexico's Guanajuato variations, this first-ever comprehensive guide to mummy movies offers in-depth production histories and critical analyses for every feature-length iteration of bandaged horror.

Although television critics have often differed with the public with respect to the artistic and cultural merits of television programming, over the last half-century television has indubitably influenced popular culture and vice versa. No matter what reasons are cited--the characters, the actors, the plots, the music--television shows that were beloved by audiences in their time remain fondly remembered. This study covers the classic period of popular television shows from the 1960s through the 1990s, focusing on how regular viewers interacted with television shows on a personal level. Bridging popular and scholarly approaches, this book discovers what America actually watched and why through documents, footage, visits to filming locations, newspapers, and magazine articles from the shows' eras. The book features extensive notes and bibliography.

November 1, 2017, was the day my life turned upside down in an instant. A day full of unsettling occurrences all led up to one phone call--the tragic death of my baby sister. Not only was she gone, but she was taken away from us by the hands of a murderer, and we were left to settle in the dust. Ever since this unspeakable tragedy occurred, I have wanted to share my sister's amazing story. I never knew how or when this would happen, but knew it needed to be shared. So many incredible, unexplainable things happened, and it was scary to think that these things or her memory could somehow be forgotten in time. I knew that God would direct my thoughts on how to share this if and when the time was right, and I know that time is now. All everyone heard up until now was a murderer's side of a made-up story, without being able to tell Tara's side. Well, now it's our time. Now it's Tara's time. Let me forewarn you though, this isn't your typical story. This is the 100 percent true story of a brave young girl who never backed down from what she believed in. It is a conversion story the likes of which you've probably never heard from a person living in this time. It is the story of tragedy and immense grief, filled with court dates and trials. It is the story of family, love, mental health, lurking evil, and overwhelming goodness. It is the story of the power of prayer and the intense reality of the spiritual world, in a constant battle for your priceless soul. It is the story of great hope of the afterlife. We were advised for four years straight not to say much back to all the lies we heard because it may have been used against us in court. Four years is a long time to wait, but more than anything, we wanted justice for Tara, so we stayed silent. Well, now it's finally Tara's turn, and it's time to shout her truth to the world. This is Tara's story.
