Bubba Ho-Tep

An elderly Elvis is barely living in an East Texas nursing home where Bubba Ho-Tep, an evil, soul-sucking mummy feasts on the residents. Elvis gets his mojo back, and with the help of a fellow resident who believes himself to be JFK, takes care of Bubba. Thank you very much.

Joe Lansdale’s short story has been made into a film by Don Coscarelli which I’d like to see. The only thing more frightening than losing one’s soul to a mummy is growing old and forgetting that you’ve got a soul.

This is a signed limited edition featuring the short story by Joe R. Lansdale and the screenplay of the film by Don Coscarelli. Published by Night Shade Books. ISBN 1892389622
