History NightmareFuel / TheMummy1999

** The death of Daniels is one of the more terrifying because it really showcases Imhotep's cruelty. [[LastStand After using up all his ammo trying to kill as many brainwashed servants as he can]], the creature slowly saunters towards him. Daniels is clearly terrified of his impending doom and about to burst out in tears. Imhotep takes the time to smile, right as Daniels offers up his Anubis headed canopic jar. In response to this, Imhotep's smile ''drops'' almost as if he's offended and he opens his mouth to roar. We don't [[GoryDiscretionShot see what exactly]] happens to the poor American, but we do hear it. Horrible sounds like flesh being torn off, Imhotep's demonic sounds and Daniels screaming bloody murder. If Beni's reaction to it is any indication, it was not pretty. God, even Imhotep's ''[[BrainwashedAndCrazy slaves]]'' had a scared look on their faces.

** Dr. Allen Chamberlain (the Egyptologist) is away from the fort (for some reason) with the Black Book of the dead. He's moving as fast as he can to return to the presumed safety of his office. As he stops, we see a [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent black cloaked figure sneaking up on him]], so close that it could conceivably grab him. After a comedic scene with Rick and Beni, [[MoodWhiplash we hear him screaming for his life]]. The next time we see him, he's dead, assimilated by Imhotep who now has the black book ''and'' another of Anck-Su-Namun's organ jars. The monster then turns to the camera to show the audience and the heroes that he's been upgraded from a shambling corpse to a grotesque patchwork zombie. And he promptly unleashes a swarm of insects from his VolumetricMouth after Rick and Jonathan, who only just manage to close the window in time to block them. According with some fans, this form of Imhotep is the ''scariest'' of all, even more than his rotted forms before, with his black robes and his partially-rotten pale skin.

* Ardeth Bay's narration in the top of this page about what would happen if Imhotep awaken. He describes the resurrected Imhotep as a EldritchAbomination, and basically an apocalyptic god. Eventually, Imhotep resurrected, his sheer menace could destroy the world.

** Their EstablishingCharacterMoment is how the warden is killed. Even though it's PlayedForLaughs to a degree and he had it coming, it's still pretty disturbing. While collecting scarab shells that he thinks are blue gold treasure, the real thing breaks out of the pretty shell and proceeds to tunnel through his flesh... and then starts ''eating his brain''. And that's what one scarab can do.

Despite being a loose remake of ''Film/TheMummy1932'' that emphasizes action / adventure and comedy, and in general, it's a more joyful film, it's still easily the most horrific and suspenseful film in the trilogy.

* The blue gold scarab. The real thing breaks out of the pretty shell and kills the warden by tunneling through his flesh... and ''eating his brain''.
** The warden actually dies when he rams his head into a stone wall. And in the original script, the bug ''eats its way out of his skull''.

* How about the fate of the poor worker who served as an example of what a swarm of scarabs are capable of... there's nothing left of him but a skeleton.
** If you look close, there is some raw flesh glued to the bones and what seems bodily ''vapor''. ''Jesus''...

** In general, mostly parts of the original script are more grotesque and terrifying, as the souls swamp in Hamunaptra, which is made of ''human remains'' and another nasty things. After the Medjai cut off Imhotep's tongue, they give it to the dogs, and they ate Imhotep's removed tongue. Some scarabs enters into Imhotep's mouth and nostrils. Imhotep's mummified body is unrecognizable, full of maggots and with chewed/melted flesh, the sarcophagus is full of dried blood, and the message "Death is only the beginning" is written in his ''blood''. In the final fight, Rick cuts Imhotep more without any visible effect...except for the flesh he cut '''melting away'''.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"He was to be remained sealed inside his sarcophagus, be undead for all of eternity. The Medjai would never allow him to be released. For he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh-eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility."'']]

* The scene where Rick hears the statue of Anubis whispering "You will die. You will die." in a slow, deep, and ominously threatening tone.

** What did Imhotep before his physical body died and after awakened? ''Screaming in pain''.

* Ardeth Bay's narration in the top of this page about what would happen if Imhotep awaken. He describes the resurrected Imhotep as a EldritchAbomination, and basically an apocalyptic god. Eventually, Imhotep resurrected, and also the menace of him destroying the world.
** This is even worse in the original script, with Imhotep as the narrator himself.

*** Imhotep's dialogue, and after his capture by the Medjai, says that Anck-su-namun was also ''cursed'', no by the Hom Dai, as she was dead, but however her body was cursed, and this is saying by the script and her action figure "Cursed Princess" by merchandise. Before Imhotep can resurrect her and revocate the curse, her body was cursed and if the two mummies resurrect, they both after regenerate, would became invincible. Imagine if they won at the end. ''God''.

In the final fight, Rick cut Imhotep more without effects, except melted Mummy flesh in his wounds.

* The scene where the diggers open the tomb with the Book of the Dead and salt (hydrochloric) acid sprays out of the opening and douses them in it. They are in complete agony, and Rick mentions they "melted".
* The inscription of the curse is an omen for what is to come should Imhotep be released, which he does. "Death will come on swift wings to whomever opens this chest. There is one, the undead, who, if brought back to life, is bound by sacred law to consummate this curse. He will kill all who open this chest and assimilate their organs and fluids and in doing so he will regenerate and no longer be the undead but a plague upon this earth."

** If you look close, there are some raw flesh glued to the bone and what seems bodily ''vapor''. ''Jesus''...

*** Imhotep's mummy form is worst in the original script. When Evelyn, Rick and Jonathan open the sarcophagus, his mummy is described as "the most horrible, twisted, deformed, full of maggots corpse". Yes, he had ''maggots''. When he rises, his flesh is melt and still full of maggots and so deformed that he's considered the "elephant man" of the corpses. His flesh is so melted and rot that Burns, almost blind sink his hand in Imhotep's chest, and his hand was full of melted ''flesh''. Ugh!
** Imhotep's regenerating stages after basically eating the Americans. From a thing made of bones and chewed melted flesh, to a muscular corpse, a pale zombie, an almost regenerated form with some mummified flesh, before his [[MrFanservice full resurrected form]]. But even after this, in the final battle, Rick cut Imhotep's arm and under his human-like form, he is still a rotten old mummy, as the script says.
** The follow-up scene, where the poor American treasure-hunter Burns who'd lost his eyes and tongue ''thinks'' he's meeting with a sympathetic Egyptian nobleman ... and then realizes ''what Beni is telling him'':

** If you listen carefully when he's killing the last two Americans Henderson and Daniels, you can hear a horrible sucking sound as their bodies become dried up husks.

God, even Imhotep's slaves had a ''scared look'' on their faces.
** Imhotep as a reanimated skeleton gradually turning into a zombie at certain points prior to his complete regeneration.
* The scarab crawling out of Imhotep's neck, back through the hole in his cheek, and he bites down with a crunch.
* Beni's eventual fate--"eventual" in relative terms, because it doesn't take long after Imhotep's defeat for him to meet it. He is trapped in a dungeon that's just been permanently sealed under the desert, with only a single torch to keep him safe from the flesh-eating scarabs which are gathering around him. All he can do is stand there and futilely wave it around to keep them away, until the torch slowly... ''flickers''... '''''out'''''. Then comes the squelching of flesh, the crunching of bone and the screaming. Even if it's a [[KarmicDeath richly-deserved fate]] for his misdeeds, it's still pretty nightmarish to think about.

* The angry mob are classic in classic monsters movies. Here, are a big one, except that this time they are under the control of a monster, chasing the heroes. The worst part is that the ''entire'' Cairo city was infected by Imhotep's plague, he made him killer zombies full of boils and rotting skin armed with torches and white weapons. They are chanting Imhotep's name in trance. It's funny and NightmareRetardant in Jonathan's scene imitating them. But when finally Imhotep ordered them to kill the heroes. Rick, Jonathan and Ardeth escape, but the Curator, died at his own Will fighting the mob, and it's implied that they rip off him into pieces as the original script says. However, in the movie, we are sure that they killed him, but we [[NothingIsScarier never really see ''what they did to him'']].

* The scene in which Imhotep coerces Beni into helping him. Looking the walking corpse in the face is bad enough, but the end of the scene, when the camera '''zooms in on him''' as he's demanding to know where the other canopic jars are might have one moving to cover their eyes.
* Imhotep's sounds as growls, moans and roars. The lesser mummies have sounds or dessecated vocal sounds, despite all they are still terrifying, and the mummy soldiers have a cool roar. But Imhotep's sounds are completely ''inhuman''. His screams are like he is on a perpetual pain (no surprise if you know the Hom Dai curse), the growls sounds almost like a supernatural beast and the roars sounds honestly ''demonic''. It's implied that the Hom Dai curse is the cause, as even the characters named him only "The Creature".
* The movie got merchandise as action figures. Cool, yeah? Except that most of the mummy figures had action that makes you impale them, cut them in two, decapitated and other things. Some have grotesque gory flesh chewed, and a figure of Imhotep (named properly "Cursed Imhotep") got an action of scarabs moving in his ''open wounds''. Some mummies had exposed internal organs, and the "Cursed Princess" (Anck Su Namun) is completely decayed with chunks of her flesh gone and even more terrifying than her look in the movie.

Despite being a loose remake of ''Film/TheMummy1932'' that emphasizes action / adventure and comedy, it’s still easily the most horrific and suspenseful film in the trilogy.

Despite being a loose remake of ''Film/TheMummy1932'' that emphasizes action/adventure and comedy, there is still a good amount of suspense and horror to be found.

Despite it's a loose remake of ''Film/TheMummy1932'' but more focused on adventures and action, it's funny and a more joyful movie in general, there are ''many'' scenes featuring horror, and from all the trilogy, this is the one that have more horror.

** In general, mostly parts of the original script are more grotesque and terrifing, as the souls swamp in Hamunaptra, which is made of ''human rests'' and another nasty things.

In the final fight, Rick cut Imhotep more without effects, except melted Mummy flesh in his wounds.

** Imhotep's mummy form is... both disgusting and scary. First of all, he's completely brutalized, still juicy despite being a mummy, and much of his flesh and skin is gone. You can expect that a mummy is a preserved corpse, with preserved skin and organs. Well, Imhotep is partially preserved, but he's a mummy ''in flesh and muscles'' as the only things that are preserved on him. You can see ''into'' him. His organs? Are gone. His ''brain''? It's gone. The horrible result of being eaten alive, conscious, for ''millenia''.
