Amazing Stories: Mummy Daddy.

Happy holiday weekend! (Assuming you live in a place where it is one.)

Tonight’s video is Mummy Daddy, a 1985 first-season episode of Amazing Stories. (God bless NBC for streaming this show!)

The official synopsis, per NBC: A hospital bound daddy-to-be, mummified for his role in a horror film, hobbles and grunts his way through a small Southern town steeped in the eerie legend of Egyptian mummy Ra Amin Ka.

If you’re new to Amazing Stories, think of it as a less-dreary Tales from the Darkside with increased production values… sometimes to its credit, and sometimes to its detriment. I can’t say that I remember watching this particular episode as a kid, but it sure sounds good.

(And even if it isn’t, any chance to see the Amazing Stories opening sequence isn’t to be missed.)
