"Bram Stoker's The Mummy: Of Human Bandage"

by Marc Shapiro

Like any good tattered-bandage epic, Bram Stoker's The Mummy features plenty of grisly demises. And dying horribly is nothing new for actor Mark Lindsay (The Langoliers) Chapman, who, as former Scotland Yard detective Daw, meets his end by being dragged through 3,000 pounds of sand before being ripped to pieces by the title wrap heap. "No. I don't survive this one," chuckles Chapman, sitting in the open door of his trailer, hands wrapped around a coffee cup and squinting as the sun reaches its peak just over the top of the orange trees. "But then, I don't survive any of my movies. I always die a nasty death, and this one is particularly nasty."

The last traces of daylight fade to dusk as Bram Stoker's The Mummy winds its last shooting day. The party from the night before is beginning to take its toll as technicians begin to drag. Chapman is once again back at his trailer, taking one last look at the skyline as the sun begins a slow but steady descent. The former Arcane from cable's Swamp Thing was not at the party, but that doesn't stop him from being dead on his feet.

"I went through six months on Titanic and immediately jumped into this for a month," Chapman sighs. "I guess you could say I'm burned out. I've pretty much had it."
