Atmosfear: Khufu the Mummy is a video board game released in 2006 by A Couple 'A Cowboys and Flying Bark Productions as the last DVD game of the Atmosfear series. The company previously teased a Khufu-themed expansion of Nightmare at the end of Nightmare IV, though declining sales prevented it from occurring.

A direct sequel to Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper, the game is set in a place known as "Khufu's", which is the titular character's casino-pyramid in Egypt (in the backstory, Khufu managed to beat the Gatekeeper at his own game and win his freedom, along with that of his fellow Harbingers). As such, there are many changes to the traditional Atmosfear gameplay. The characters again are the Harbingers, but this time, they are joined by a new member of the crew. To play the game, each player adopts the persona of one of the Harbingers: Anne de Chantraine the witch; Baron Samedi the zombie; Elizabeth Bathory the vampire; Gevaudan the werewolf; Helin the poltergeist, and newcomer Medusa the gorgon.
