Lord Arthur Holmwood
for Lord Arthur Holmwood in Universal Monsters : The Mummy Legacy
Suggested by jeanpaulvalley
This film is what I imagine what a third opus of the saga "The Mummy" would have given, if "the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" did not exist, and if it could have opened up an extended universe on a revival of the Universal Monsters. 1950, Rick and Evelyn O'Connell have been reclusive in their English mansion since the end of World War II, where their son, Alex, died as a Royal Air Force pilot. Although having lost taste for adventures, even for life, the couple is convinced by Lord Arthur Holmwood to help his men eliminate several dangerous monsters located in a large traveling circus located at Germany's bottom. However, once there, our heroes realize that these "monsters" are far from being evil beings and that they are also being hunted down by many vampires from Eastern Europe. Thus, the O'Connells will find new allies with the Frankenstein Creature, the Wolfman, Princess Ahmanet, the first nice Mummy they meet, and also the Creature of the Black Lagoon. Together, they will fight against the Holmwood xenophobic forces and also against the Transylvanian vampires, until the intervention of their master : Dracula ! This adventure, the greatest they have ever lived, will probably give our heroes a taste of life.
