Oh yeah, Professor George Edward Challenger is public domain now, it's insane he's not getting work!

But, if I recall, there is a kind of mollusk that has a fleshy lure to attract fish and then does much the same (its larvae, glochidia, are gill parasites)

I think to be a movie mummy proper the character needs to be intentionally and ritually mummified for religious reasons-- and ideally there should be a curse in there somewhere. A sacrificed bog mummy is great folk horror; some poor bastard who just died and jerkifiyed in the Atacama won't do.
