Though Bud Abbott's character in this film was named Peter Patterson and Lou Costello's character's name was Freddie Franklin, they addressed each other by their own, real names ("Heeeeey Abbott!") throughout the entire picture. The credits are the only place where their characters' names are used.
Stuntman Eddie Parker, who plays Klaris the mummy, previously doubled Lon Chaney Jr. as Kharis in "Universal's" earlier Mummy films.
On 25 November 1954, the day after filming completed, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello arrived in New York City to ride on the first float of the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Lou Costello had been suffering from rheumatic fever prior to filming, hence his slightly wan appearance.
The camera Lou Costello uses to take a picture of the dead Dr. Zoomer is a Polaroid Model 95A, one of the earliest "Picture-in-a-Minute" cameras pioneered by Edwin Land of the Polaroid Corp.
"Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: I overheard Doctor Zoomer say he needed a couple of men to accompany his mummy back to the States. Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Is she afraid to travel by herself? Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: She? No, Lou. This mummy is a he. What's wrong with that? Some mummies are men, some mummies are women. Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Such a strange country. Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: What's strange about it Lou? Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Your mummy, your mummy. Wasn't she a woman? Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: I never had a mummy. Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: What did your Father do? Win you in a crap game? Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: What's the matter? Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: I thought you were gonna slap me!"
"Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: How stupid can you get? Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: How stupid do you want me to be?"
