Horror and mythology movies offer the best of both worlds for history buffs and horror lovers. And when you do your research, there’s hardly a shortage of them. Taking something as popular as mythology and transforming it into something unique is an art in itself, and there are plenty of movies that have pulled this off. We look at The Mummy (1999) and its strong influence on gaming. We’re not talking about the latest Tom Cruise reboot from 2017. We’re talking about the classic one.
