That is the part that really scared me. Especially when I was a kid. The look on Imhotep's face as he's being wrapped is what gets to me the most. Also, as a black man, needless to say, it gets under my skin when the Nubian slaves are killed.

First time I saw the original Karloff verion(back in 1983), I thought he did far more screaming(begging for his life) as his embalming neared completion.
shareI loved the whole flashback scene, it was masterfully done. Being buried alive would be terrifying. It's no wonder the guy was so merciless after going through that.
shareGood movie - always have to stop & watch. That entire scene is spell-binding. From Imhotep's theft of the scroll, his sentencing & then OMG the wraping & struggle to the sarcophagus desecration & then the burial YEEKS! Was lucky enough to visit Egypt about 10 yrs ago, incredible, fascinating world.
shareYes, that scene is most definitely the highlight of the entire film.
shareAs a white man, it got under my skin that a white person was buried alive
