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.

Kurzer, knackiger, herrlich bekloppter Scheißdreck. Mit dem Bonus, die Hauptrolle automatisch mit Bruce Campbell besetzt zu haben. Gegenwehr zwecklos 😁
Very weird. Very strange. Very funny!
