Why did Coscarelli choose to make the villain a mummy?


Was it just a random decision? I would like to know what his reasoning was in the conception of this villain.

Coscarelli made the villain a mummy because it was one in the short story. Joe R. lansdale made it a mummy because earlier he had joked that he'd write a story called Bubba Ho-Tep.
