Plot

What if Elvis didn't die on the 'john' in 1977, but switched identities with an Elvis impersonator during the early 1970's in order to escape the harsh glare of fame? Furthermore, suppose the real Elvis ended up in an East Texas retirement home rubbing shoulders with a black guy claiming to be JFK. Crazy?...Well maybe, but then again perhaps Elvis is alive and battling a soul-sucking mummy which is using his rest home as a feeding ground. Bubba Ho-Tep is a cult classic in every sense of the word - a B-movie with an A+. Spot on performances, very funny, genuinely creepy and hung on a premise that must have taken a genius to sell to a studio.
