Bubba Ho-Tep is one of those.
I have to admit, the DVD menu is excellently done. While it isn't as harrowing as those of Fear of the Dark or Jeepers Creepers 2, it is however highly original. What we have is a collection of newspaper clippings and a circus - style poster, with the available menu choice below. Careful viewers will note bits of the story in the presentation.
So let's run down the story. And this one's a doozy, folks. Strap in and pay attention. And no, you are NOT on acid. This is actually what happens.
Mud Creek, Texas, is the home of a relatively innocuous though somewhat sinister nursing home. And there's a resident or two that'll really surprise you.
Like Elvis.
That's right, folks, the King lives on and is living in a nursing home in Mud Creek, Texas. And considering what the King thinks about, he's not doing much in the way of living.
And of course, we can't get a movie involving Elvis without the "story" behind his death. It's very melancholy, and a little bizarre, but it's very well constructed.
But this isn't just the home of living rock legends we all merely thought were dead, no sir or ma'am as the case may be. This is the home of some really vicious bugs. Scarab beetles, in fact. And mummies in cowboy hats.
And then, as if things couldn't get any weirder, JFK apparently ALSO lives in this Mud Creek rest home.
Played by Ossie Davis.
Now, anyone who knows who Ossie Davis is is suddenly picking his or her jaw up off the floor. Ossie Davis, you see, is a BLACK man.
