Free Screening! BUBBA HO-TEP, 2002, 92 min. Dir. Don Coscarelli. THE KING OF ROCK VS. THE KING OF THE DEAD! Based on the Bram Stoker Award-nominated short story by cult author Joe R. Lansdale, the stylish and funny BUBBA HO-TEP tells the story of what really became of Elvis Presley. We find Elvis (Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home plagued by an evil Egyptian mummy. It seems he switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death," and now he's lost his desire. But now he has the chance to save the other residents from losing their souls (not to mention their lives), so he teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident (who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy), and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle mummy and save the nursing home. A fun sci-fi/horror romp as well as an exploration of aging, dignity and the meaning of life. Discussion following with director Don Coscarelli and actor Reggie Bannister. Join us in the lobby at 2:00 PM, when Don Coscarelli will sign his new book, True Indie: Life and Death in Filmmaking. 
Eventbrite RSVP has closed, but free tickets are still availble at the box office the day of.
