Scripts from the Crypt #14 The Mummy's Tomb Hardback Book:

Monster Kids’ favorite movie mummy Kharis scream-iered in 1940’s The Mummy’s Hand and returned in a new chiller-diller two years later, dealing out more cruel and violent death. But the sequel’s title The Mummy’s Tomb is a misnomer, Kharis have left his Saharan resting place more than 5000 miles behind. Now the full moon, lighting his way from one midnight murder to the next, rides high in the sky over the U.S. of A.: Mapleton, Massachusetts, is the crumbling creeper’s new stalking ground!

The Mummy’s Tomb is set 30 years after Hand, but Egypt’s ancient gods are still in a royal huff that archaeologist Steve Banning (Dick Foran) plundered Princess Ananka’s tomb. With Banning, his family and his colleague Babe (Wallace Ford) on his hit list, a fanatic High Priest (Turhan Bey) transports Kharis to the States and unleashes the mad mummy upon them.

Lon Chaney, the Universal Horror Factory’s new go-to guy for monster roles, fills the cloth-wrapped shoes of Kharis, a one-mummy crime wave casting his sinister shadow across the New England village.
