THE KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL VERSUS THE KING OF THE DEAD ON BLU-RAY FOR THE FIRST TIME ANYWHERE!

Don Coscarelli's brilliant Bubba Ho-Tep, starring Bruce Campbell (the Evil Dead trilogy; the Spider-Man trilogy; Burn Notice), comes to Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world, courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment, in an edition packed with extra features (many produced with the exclusive cooperation of Don and Bruce) and presenting the film in dazzling high definition.

Something very strange is going on at the Shady Rest Retirement Home in Mud Creek, Texas. It is the present day, and the King of Rock 'n' Roll (Bruce Campbell) is quietly living out his twilight years in the company of fellow resident, former US president John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis). Contrary to popular belief, JFK managed to dodge the assassin's bullet but in the aftermath had his skin dyed black and his head messed with by "Them" at the White House. But that's not half of it. According to the former president, there's a malevolent Egyptian mummy on the loose in the halls of the home intent on devouring the residents' souls. Reluctant to take this evil threat lying down, Elvis and JFK decide it's time to kick some mummy ass! Armed with just a Zimmer frame, a wheelchair, a makeshift flamethrower and some dubious karate moves, the decrepit duo set about taking care of business…

Bubba Ho-Tep features a remarkable show-stopping and career-defining performance by Bruce Campbell as Elvis, described by both the Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety as one of the best screen interpretations of the King to date. One of the most original and touching genre films you will ever see, Bubba Ho-Tep is a must-see film and an essential addition to the Blu-ray collections of all Bruce Campbell and Elvis fans.

Bubba Ho-Tep (cert. 15) will be released on Blu-ray (£19.99) by Anchor Bay Entertainment on 12th July 2010.

Sooooo, all you have to do this week is come up with a SHORT synopsis (or picture/poster/whatever) of an imaginary horror/exploitation film with the title of an Elvis song. Simple!
