Why a female Mummy movie would be scarier

Mummy scariest

I was interested to read (in Geektyrant) that Len Wiseman is to direct a 'darker scarier' version of THE MUMMY for Universal Pictures.

Yet in fact, to the ancient Egyptians, nothing was more scary than the female dead.

Egyptians feared reprisals from the malignant female dead and were at great pains not to offend against them.

Why would the female of the dead species be more deadly - and crankier than the male? 

There is something darker, more poignant and disturbing about the female mummy. 

Do we feel they would be angrier about the crumbling dissolution of their beauty? 

Or do we have a latent fear of female magic and psychic power?

You can meet a truly terrifying, yet curiously engaging female mummy character in THE ISIS MUMMY.

You decide.

Isn't it time for a female mummy (of the ancient Egyptian kind)?

“An intellect's version of The Mummy...” says Book Reviewer (The Smiting Texts by Roy Lester Pond).

Let's get back to the source

With the popular fiction hunger for 'death stories' in the form of death games (The Hunger Games) vampires (Twilight series), zombies (The Walking Dead) and the like, and news of the ‘darker’ re-boot of the Mummy movie franchise, I have to accept this critic’s comment with some gratitude.

Even though my Egyptology adventure thriller series - now a quartet - offer a very different take. Mummy schlock it isn't. As an Amazon female reader commented: "I loved the intrigue without horror and it was full of interesting twists and turns. I also really enjoyed the characters and their development." 

Of course all these other death stories are relative beginners in the field.

Ancient Egypt owns death, dissolution magical afterlife and supernatural malevolence expressed in curses and execrations.

Let’s get back to the source.

The Reviewer continues: “Roy Lester Pond provides a sumptuous feast on which to devour multiple strands of Egypt's ancient past and potential future.

Initially set out as an ambiguous investigation by the US Homeland Security into a possible terrorist threat culminating in the recent murder of controversial Egyptologist, Anson Hunter's father - the plot is interspersed with a tale of ancient Egypt. An ancient hunter's fate to recapture the Goddess of devastation and entomb himself with her in order to save Egypt is particularly beautiful and lifts the overall book beyond the normal conspiratorial-action-thriller… a wonderfully clever and original story.” - The Truth About Books, UK
