Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)


Bubba Ho-tep is the story of an ancient Egyptian mummy who has risen from the dead to suck the souls from the residents of a run down Texas nursing home.  One of the residents of the old folks home is Elvis Presley.  Not some old deranged guy who thinks he's Elvis, this is the real Elvis.  At the tail end of his stardom he switched placed with his best impersonator, Sebastian Haff, and that's who subsequently died on the toilet at Graceland.  Unfortunately the contract that proved his true identity and would have allowed him to resume his former life were destroyed in a freak barbecue accident.  Back at the rest home Elvis is good friends with fellow resident Jack Kennedy.  The former President is now an elderly black man who is convinced that he was dyed black by the CIA after the shooting, and has had a portion of his brain removed and replaced with a tiny little sack filled with sand.  Elvis and JFK are aware that the mummy requires souls to live and they are determined to stop it before they become the it's next victims.
