Something Missing?

Bubba Ho-Tep is a film about a 3000 year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for cowboy boots, bathroom graffiti, and sucking the souls from the barely living. Bubba preys on the helpless senior citizens in the Shady Rest retirement home located in East Texas until an unlikely pair of geriatric heroes make one last stand against evil. The film stars Bruce Campbell as an aged Elvis Presley awakened after being in a coma and Ossie Davis who claims to be John F. Kennedy, explaining that he was patched up after the assassination, dyed black, and abandoned. Bob Ivy plays the titular character in the film.

The film is based on the novella of the same name by Joe R. Lansdale, which originally appeared in the anthology The King Is Dead: Tales of Elvis Post-Mortem. Originally the film was "roadshowed" by the director across the country. Only 32 prints were made and circulated around various film festivals, though these garnered critical success. By the time it was released on DVD, it had already achieved cult status due to positive reviews, lack of access, and inclusion of (and similar on-the-road hard work by) Campbell. The film also features a cameo by Reggie Bannister from Coscarelli's Phantasm series.
