My latest for Bloody Disgusting! I loved doing this piece tracking the development of Universal's The Mummy through the '90s, which kicked off with Clive Barker. That's fairly well known, but his infamous pitch actually started a little earlier as his original idea for Hellraiser III. I love the weird game of Hollywood Telephone and constant changes of hand that allowed something like this to happen, to go from Hellraiser III to Barker's The Mummy, which Universal did NOT go for, then to George Romero's, Mick Garris' Joe Dante's and finally Stephen Sommers' The Mummy. But just looking at the roadmap, a journey that ended at Sommers' massive, beloved blockbuster began life as Hellraiser III and that is pure and wonderful and wild.
