ELVIS! (not really)

BUBBA HO-TEP-2002-Disregarding the jokes about a boil on a penis and senile senior citizens this is a pretty clever and funny horror spoof.

In an old age home Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell), who may actually be a Elvis impersonator or the real Elvis who traded identities with an Elvis impersonator teams up with John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis!). He says that after he was “assassinated” they dyed his body and filled his head with sand! They battle an Egyptian mummy dressed like a cowboy who steals souls.

Director/screenwriter Don Coscarelli (who made the PHANTASM series) adapted it from a short story by S.F. writer Jon Lansdale. PHANTASM regular Reggie Bannister runs the old age home. There may be a sequel in the works.

Thanks for reading!
