No Hope November - Day 20 - "Bubba Ho-Tep"

This choice for No Hope November is a rather obvious one. "Bubba Ho-Tep" was written and directed by Don Coscarelli, known for his tremendous work on Phantasm. He has a twisted mind that I greatly appreciate. My main man Bruce Campbell stars as a resident of an old folks home and he dresses like Elvis, cape and all, and tells everyone that he is the king. Of course everyone knows he's just a crazy old man (except he really is Elvis!). Elvis has a friend at the home, a black man (Ossie Davis) that believes he is John F. Kennedy. Funny thing is, he really is! You'll have to watch this movie for the details. John F Kennedy is in a wheelchair and Elvis uses a walker, but they can't let that slow them down. There are mysterious deaths happening at the home, and our two intrepid heroes aim to get to the bottom of it. Come to find out there is an Egyptian mummy that wears cowboy boots killing the people. Can Jfk and Elvis save the day? Does this plot sound completely bonkers? Tune in to Bubba Ho-Tep and enrich your life beyond measure.
