Carter's likeness was used to depict fictional villain Professor Garrett Reed, an evil archaeologist who caused a scandal when he grave-robbed a mummy in 1929. In the Daily Colonial Journal, two photographs of Reed were used to depict Reed with one being unedited while the other had another man's face edited over that of Carter.
