The Mummy trailer with half its audio missing is a hilarious Christmas miracle, Twitter made it even better

That new trailer for The Mummy is a lot less slick if you forget to edit in the dramatic music. An incomplete version of the trailer was reportedly uploaded to IMAX's official accounts and the internet was instantly delighted at this Christmas miracle of unintentional absurdity. Have you ever wanted to hear Tom Cruise scream at nothing three times in a row? Watch.

Nothing will top that initial high of hearing a single, lonely Goldeneye 007 "grunt" sound effect when a bat slams into a pilot at 500 miles per hour. But these reactions from Twitter come close.

People couldn't get over those screams

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo.
