Lee Cronin's Evil Dead Mummy

Lee Cronin dives into Lee Cronin's The Mummy and why it’s nothing like any Mummy movie you’ve seen! He breaks down the dark twist involving a missing child, a sarcophagus, and a family dealing with something far more sinister, how he reinvented the monster with a psychological, possession-driven approach, and why this horror unfolds in broad daylight. He reveals how he built the film around intense practical effects, including a brutal “toenail” sequence, and an evolving, grotesque transformation of the mummy, and explains why real, in-camera scares always beat CGI (tracing that philosophy back to his childhood obsession with making homemade effects, building blood packs, fake skin, and shooting DIY horror on a camcorder). He also talks about the influence of Poltergeist, why Jaws is still the gold standard for suspense and practical effects, and how the success of Evil Dead Rise, along with collaborations with Sam Raimi and James Wan, led him to take this wild, genre-bending swing at The Mummy.
