    That Gorey piece is deceptively uncanny. We knew he accumulated a lot of crap (there's great video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABkInj-2qaA) but some of those details make me wonder if he's some kind of New England mummy in waiting now, waiting for modern data science to build that "spreadsheet" and make him talk again. Take that, Lovecraft!

      Look, we're going to need to reboot the Mummy franchise again and this is our last, best hope.

      Mummy in a fur coat. Would just buy out the local and give all the folk of Stars Hollow tickets.

      Mummy in a fur coat, it's not strange, he just wants to live his life this way.

      It took a day but I just realized we're both describing a Dr Phibes remake.
