 * Amazing Stories

Ra Amon Ka was a fictional mummy featured in the "Mummy, Daddy" episode of Amazing Stories where he was played by actor Michael Zand. The episode is the only known appearance of the character.

Almost nothing is known of Ra Amon Ka's background but for the likelihood, given his name, that he originally hailed from ancient Egypt. At some point in the distant past, Ra Amon Ka was mummified and his inert body came into the possession of a traveling carnival. During the 1930s, the carnival was passing through bayou country in the American southeast when Ra Amon Ka awakened and began terrorizing the community. According to a town sage, most of the people from the town relocated soon after. Tales of Ra Amon Ka soon became part of the local folklore.

By the year 1985, Ra Amon Ka was once again inert and entombed inside his sarcophagus. The sarcophagus came into the possession of an elderly blind man who kept it secure inside of his remote cabin. One evening, an actor named Harold, who had been working on a monster movie where he played a mummy, came to the old man's cabin seeking shelter. Harold was still in his mummy costume and, being mistaken for a real mummy, was fleeing from some angry villagers. The blind man invited him into his hut, but when he placed his hands upon Harold's hands and arms, he panicked, believing that Ra Amon Ka had come to life. The man retreated into the back of his cabin at which point, the real Ra Amon Ka awakened once again.

A mindless monster, Ra Amon Ka chased Harold out of the cabin and into a nearby fog-enshrouded cemetery. Harold tried to intimidate Ra by executing a series of amateur martial arts moves, but this served only to confuse the mummy. Fortunately for the terrified actor, Harold managed to spin-kick Ra Amon Ka backward and he fell into a freshly dug grave. Afterward, Harold managed to flee the area, hoping to never have to worry about the mummy ever again. Moments afterward however, two grave robbers came into the cemetery and one of them dropped their flashlight into the grave. Ra rose from the dirt holding the man's flashlight and the two robbers ran off in fright.

Ra Amon Ka began wandering the bayou and eventually made his way back to the movie set where Harold had been filming his mummy movie. The director of the film, believing that the creature before him was actually Harold still in costume managed to shoot one final scene with the snarling monster. Afterward, he sat Ra Amon Ka down and began removing his wrappings. What became of the film crew and Ra Amon Ka following this incident remains unknown.
