With over 5 credited and uncredited screenwriters assigned to "The Mummy's Curse," the film was already fated for inconsistencies. In the Universal world, "...Curse" would have been placed in the 1990s but not set in New England where Imhotep (now Kharis) had dragged Princess Anaka's body into a swamp in the first movie back in 1932. 25 years later, the swamp is now drying out in Louisiana in the late 1960s. With the use of prior footage of Karloff and Tom Tyler in the title role, the Mummy character ends up being played by three different actors in one movie. These things have been attributed to the low box office numbers and moderate to poor reviews.
