About this product

Product Information

Don Coscarelli's BUBBA HO-TEP finds Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell) alive but not so well, living in a small Texas nursing home. Although he's preoccupied with his ailments and his memories, the elderly Elvis befriends another resident who thinks he's John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis) when they both begin to suspect that their neighbors aren't dying of natural causes. Their investigation leads to the discovery of an evil mummy with a fondness for cowboy gear and an appetite for the souls of senior citizens. Armed with little more than a walker and a wheelchair, the King and JFK must take on this ancient evil.Based on a short story by Joe R. Lansdale, BUBBA HO-TEP mixes comedy, drama, and horror to create a remarkably quirky film. As the aged and ailing Elvis, Campbell gives an outstandingly funny and poignant performance, while Davis exudes intelligence and warmth as JFK. Although horror is a key element of the story, much of the movie focuses on the life of Elvis and his new friendship with the former president, leading to many oddly comical scenes and even a few genuinely touching moments. Of course, their embalmed foe and his creepy minions must be confronted, making this the first movie about Elvis and JFK to appeal to horror enthusiasts, or, conversely, the first horror movie to appeal to Elvis and JFK enthusiasts. Either way, it's a highly unconventional tale that no adventurous filmgoer should miss.

  • Totally enjoyed Bubba Ho-Tep

    As a life long Elvis fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It captured my interest and there weren't any boring parts. All the actors and actresses played their parts with excellence. Although I wouldn't rate this movie as a comedy, there were definitely some very funny parts. This is one you won't find on HBO or Cinemax. I give it two thumbs up and a couple of toes.

  • Fun Cult classic!

    Bruce Campbell has done a lot of good cult classics, this is one of my favorites and I was glad to add it to my collection. Ossie Davis as JFK and Bruce Campbell as an aged Elvis in a Texas rest home must fight an Egyptian mummy to save their rest home and their souls. I LIKE IT!!!

  • The title could've used some work!

    It's very unique for two nursing home residents to be good friends when each one thinks he's the embodiment of a famous dead man!

  • Bruce Cambell and Ozzie Davis save the day!

    Hilarious Bruce Campbell film. Two old men in a retirement home, Campbell plays Elvis Pressley and Ozzie Davis as John Kennedy, have to battle an evil mummy to save the day. So crazy it works. If you are a fan of Campbell you will love this one.

  • Hilarious and Entertaining

    This may be a Grade B flick but it is hilariously entertaining. I'm a long time fan of Joe R. Lansdale and will watch anything of his converted into a movie of TV show.

  • Not bad, but my high expectations let me down..

    Lots of potential, with a few funny moments, not particularly well written, and not a great ending.
