Mummy was originally to avoid death by preserving the physical body, to mummify your body is to allow your body to still be here on this earth as if you never left it. And the Wolfman suffer from their identities of half-human and hald-beast and lusts for blood in every full moon. To them, living is suffering, and death is what they ultimately want. So if you have a mummy on one hand that is trying to stay alive and the Wolfman on the other hand that perfers death, then you can see that they are coming from two different directions. The preferences of Death over Life describes the difference between the mummy and wolfman.
In Eastern religions, reincarnation is the central belief. It seems to follow the Mummy. In Western religions, death is a continuing life in the Heaven or in the Hell which seems to follow the beliefs of the Wolfman. The wolfman will allow and accept death like the Western religions and the Eastern religions believe in reincarnation as to perserve your body and reminds me of the mummy.
