November 5, 2004

Director: Don Coscarelli

Starring: Bruce Campbell & Ossie Davis

Synopsis: At a nursing home in East Texas, Elvis (played by Bruce Campbell of the Evil Dead films) and JFK (who is, oddly enough, black) are alive and...well, they are in a nursing home. But the sudden appearance of a murderous Egyptian mummy at the facility forces these cultural icons to rally their strength to defeat evil. Strange, yes. B-movie bliss, also yes.
