Legacy Monster discs, what about the Mummy?

I ordered the full 3 monster set (was actually cheaper online than the
individual sets) but I notice there is no Mummy set. Does anyone know if
they maybe intend to do one and or one for Creature of the Black Lagoon too?

Thx in advance

I want my mummy!

The mummy also got left out of _Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein_.

It's the same with the "Universal Horror Legacy Collection." Dracula,
the Frankenstein Monster and the Wolf Man are there -- but not the
Mummy.

It must be some kind of conspiracy.

I really hope that if the first sets are successful, they will do more. I'd
love a "Creature From..." set as well as an "Invisible Man" set.

To put a cynical spin on it, the obvious (they even have a
trailer on the discs) answer is these were selected on the
back of the Van Helsing movie.

Both the Mummy & Creature From the Black Lagoon mentioned by
another poster have been available on R2 (UK at least) for a
while.

Also there are many other classic Universal horror films, such as "The
Black Cat" "The Raven and "The Invisible Ray" (Released on laser) with
Karloff, and "Murders in the Rue Morgue" with Bela Lugosi as well as
other atmospheric thrillers from the Precode era. They deserve a
release.. Many of Lugosi's and Karloff's films for UA, Paramount,
Columbia, and MGM HAVE been released on DVD.

Only the monsters that made it to Van Helsing are getting the Legacy
releases so far. The sales seem good and there is already rumors of
Mummy, Creature and Invisible Man sets coming but nothing more than
rumors.

Probably because the Mummy had only done one film at the time (and even
then only had a cameo in a Karloff piece), and wasn't a Universal star yet.

Probably because he wasn't in "Van Helsing".

billing)

Yep. I suspect that those 3 legacy sets may be carted out around the
time of the 'Van Helsing' DVD release - late October, maybe?

There are 5 Mummy films, 5 Invisible Films, and 3 Creature films - I
know there was a very nice 'Invisible Collection' laserdisc release
that had all 4 sequels on it.

I expect them to release these around the time of the Van Helsing DVD
release, but who knows?

Others have responded to this, but I wish to add that Universal seems
to be going full ahead with their "Franchise Collection" line (but,
c'mon...Michael Flatley?!?!?), so even if the Mummy, Invisible Man,
and Creature films don't get Legacy sets like the Frank, Drac, and
Wolfey, I have little doubt that we'll get "Franchise Collection" sets
of them sometime soon...perhaps in time for Halloween.

At least all five of the Mummy films got "Monster Collection" releases
(even if they are currently OOP). The Creature and IMan
sequels/follow-ups never got released on DVD.

As for the Abbott & Costello films...by my reckoning, Universal has
enough for two more volumes similar to what they've already released.
Whether they choose to keep going in strict chronological order, or
separate out the "meet the monsters" entries into a separate themed
collection, I wouldn't venture to guess.

However, Abbott and Costello #3 does contain "Abbott and Costello meet
the Killer - Boris Karloff" My favourite of the A & C (semi) monster
flicks if only for the presence of the incredibly cute Universal
contract player Donna Martell (Project Moonbase.)
