Anchor Bay Entertainment is releasing Bubba Ho-tep, starring Bruce Campbell, on the 12th of July and we now know some of the extras and specs for the release.
An ancient evil finds resistance in the most unlikely of places in this oddball comedy/horror movie from Phantasm director Don Coscarelli. Resting in the confines of a Mud Creek, Texas, 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).
The Blu-ray release of Bubba Ho-tep (priced at £19.99 RRP) will have the following specifications and extras:
