"Bubba Ho-Tep" is a cult favorite for many film enthusiasts. Directed by Don Coscarelli and based on the novella of the same name by Joe R. Lansdale, the movie presents a unique story that combines Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, and an ancient Egyptian mummy in a Texas retirement home. With Bruce Campbell portraying an elderly Elvis and Ossie Davis as JFK, the film provides both comedy and horror in an unexpected twist on historical figures.
