The Mummy's Curse is the 1944 horror film follow-up to The Mummy's Ghost which was also released in 1944. This film marks Lon Chaney Jr.'s final appearance as Kharis, the Egyptian mummy.

This installment in the series takes place in Louisiana Cajun country and concerns Princess Ananka, the ancient Egyptian princess for whom Kharis bore a forbidden love. Ananka had previously been reincarnated in The Mummy's Ghost only to die in the swamps. In this film, her body is dug up by land developers and she comes back to life. Kharis terrorizes the local country in his search for her.

  • Even though the mummy Kharis and Princess Ananka die in a swamp in New England in The Mummy's Ghost, they are found in a swamp in Lousiania in this sequel.
  • The Mummy (1932) was set in 1932, the year of its release. The first sequel, The Mummy's Hand (1940) is also chronologically coherent, set in 1940. The Mummy's Tomb (1942) takes place some thirty years following the events of "Hand", with The Mummy's Ghost (1944) somewhat after. We learn that this movie is set an additional twenty five years after "Ghost", meaning that the events take place in 1995.
