The Mummy's Head

The cracked vase. The peering eyes. Edward Gorey’s work is unmistakable. We are pleased to present “The Mummy’s Head,” the first of five short animations using previously unpublished audio recordings of the late writer, artist, puppeteer, playwright, and designer. Gorey was best known for his pen-and-ink illustrations on everything from book covers to the opening credits of PBS’s long-running series “Mystery!” (He wrote and illustrated a lot of his own books, too; more than a hundred of them, in fact, including "The Doubtful Guest" and "The Gashlycrumb Tinies.")
