"Bubba Ho-Tep is that rare cinematic combination of totally unique story and near-perfect execution."
– Cheryl Eddy, i09.com
The Bubba Ho-tep franchise of films, novels, comics, and music came to life upon the release of writer-director Don Coscarelli's (Phantasm, The Beastmaster, John Dies At The End) feature film in 2003 telling the story of an aging and cantankerous "Elvis" in this "zinger-filled crowd-pleaser" (The Hollywood Reporter). When mysterious deaths plague a Texas retirement home, it's up to its most sequined senior citizen to take on a 4,000-year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for cowboy boots, bathroom graffiti and sucking the souls from the barely living.
"A cult comedy success"
– ROGER EBERT
The "Bubba" saga spread like wildfire across the internet when the trailer debuted on Apple Trailers. With a years-long theatrical release through independent theaters all around the world Bubba Ho-tep became a bonafide cult classic.
