Bubba Ho-tep
Directed by Don
Coscarelli
Starring Bruce Campbell
and Ossie Davis
Don Coscarelli, of Phantasm
fame, has teamed with Bruce
Campbell (Evil Dead trilogy) to
create the amazing indie film
Bubba Ho-tep.
As typical of Campbell films,
the plot is decidedly unique.
Campbell stars as an elderly
Elvis Presley who switches
places with an Elvis imperson
ator during the declining years of
Presley’s popularity. The imper
sonator suffers the infamous
bathroom demise, and the real
Elvis ends up as a resident in the
Muddy Creek Rest Home in sce
nic East Texas. Suffering from
genital cancer, Elvis spends
his days with the only man
who believes the truth about
his past, another elderly gent
(Ossie Davis) who believes
himself to be John F. Kennedy.
The respective lords of
Graceland and Camelot spend
their time sleeping and ponder
ing the loss of their fonner glory
until a couple of thieves acciden
tally free an Egyptian mummy
from a museum tour. The
mummy arrives at Muddy Creek
and begins sucking the aged res
idents’ souls through various ori
fices. Elvis and Jack must gird
up their loins — and their wheel
chairs - to protect their home.
The movie alternates between
uproarious humor, chock full of
infinitely quotable one-liners,
and creepy plot twists.
Filmed primarily inside an
abandoned veterans’ home, the
setting is dark and ominous for
all interior sequences. The cine
matography and score are fan
tastic, and the movie looks as
highly polished as anything pro
duced by a major studio.
The former American legends
battle against an ancient devourer
of souls and place this movie
among the ranks of such signifi
cantly literary sci-fi greats as
Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Rather than depicting a
nightmarish scenario of assimi
lation, Bubba Ho-tep deals with
an even older fear, that of our
own mortality. The residents of
Muddy Creek Rest Home are no
strangers to death. For them,
and perhaps for us all, the
greater fear is that of being for
gotten and leaving no mark on
the world.
Bubba Ho-tep has not found a
distributor, but has been an offi
cial selection at several film fes
tivals and is being screened as
part of Bruce Campbell’s book
signing tour.

the movie, visit www.bubba-
