An ancient evil finds resistance in the most unlikely of places in this oddball
comedy horror effort from
Phantasm director
Don Coscarelli. Resting in the confines of a Mud Creek, TX, nursing home after fading into obscurity following his departure from the limelight, an aging and embittered
Elvis (
Bruce Campbell) befriends a delusional patient named
Jack (
Ossie Davis) who claims to be
John F. Kennedy. It seems that at the height of his popularity
Elvis had switched identities with a convincing double, and, upon the death of the substitute, missed his chance to reclaim his former fame. Despite his anger at never having made a comeback,
Elvis finds a new reason to live when
Jack tips him off to an evil mummy that is feasting on the souls of hapless nursing home inhabitants. Before long the geriatric duo must muster the strength to fend off the malevolent soul sucker lest they ultimately fall prey to the fearsome
Bubba Ho-Tep (
Bob Ivy).
