Bubba Ho-Tep
This comedy horror film was released in 2006, starring Bruce Campbell, Ossie Davis, Ella Joyce, Heidi Marnhout, and Bob Ivy. The film was adapted from Joe R. Lansdale’s alternate history novel of the same name. In an East Texas nursing home, a frail Elvis Presley wakes up from a 20-year coma caused by a hip injury infection. He laments his aging, impotence, and loss of status.

Initially, the film was released in insufficient copies. It quickly achieved cult status, though, leading to a massive demand for the DVD release. The film was positively received by the public and the critics, with only a few criticizing the mummy plot and the ending.
