THE KING VS. THE KING OF THE DEAD
An aging Elvis Presley and an African-American “JFK” stay in a nursing home where nothing much happens - that is, until a wayward Egyptian mummy comes and sucks out the old people’s souls thru their a-holes. The two decide to fight back.

You come for Bruce Campbell doing a geriatric Elvis impersonation, you leave with a newfound respect for the importance of dignified elderly care. In the middle, some souls get sucked out of butts. This movie rules.
Next time family movie night is my pick, I’m introducing them to this. Been forever since I watched it.
I got to go see a screening with the director, writer, and Bruce before this opened wide. Super cool to hear from them.
I went to a screening of John Dies at the End in 2012 and met Don Coscarelli afterwards. He was standing off to the side chatting with someone who appeared to be a friend of his.
I’d brought my DVD of Bubba Ho-Tep and asked him to autograph it. He looked at me for a couple of seconds, turned to his friend, and said “Can you believe that it’s been 10 years, and people still like this movie?” We all laughed and he was happy to sign it. Very cool guy.
Yeah, I’ve heard that Don is a super chill dude who really appreciates his fans. :)
Far more fun as a concept than it was a movie.
Fun game for a first watch; Watch half this movie, pause, write down what you think is going to happen, then finish the movie.
I can’t remember why but I didn’t enjoy this
The letterboxd link is wrong!
I was surprised to discover this was based on a book. I’ve been meaning to read it but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I got a DVD of this free(I forget how, maybe with evil dead or something?) but never got round to watching it and now it is lost.
I still think about it whenever ancient Egypt, JFK, Elvis or Bruce Campbell come up.
The little touches are what sold me on this movie, like Elvis comparing the scarabs to the “size of a peanut butter and banana sandwich.”
until a wayward Egyptian mummy comes and sucks out the old people’s souls thru their a-holes.
So, basically the mummy was a Kappa, looking for shirikodama’s?
I love this movie, but my family looks at me funny when I watch it.
A fun b-movie with a lot of heart, and a great Bruce Campbell performance.
“They dyed me.”
I could have sworn this movie came out in like 2012, maybe that’s just when I found out about it
