It’s time for Elvis to make a comeback. After all, according to some conspiracy theorists, he’s still alive. At least that’s the case in Bubba Ho-Tep. The horror-comedy film sees the King of Rock’N’Roll battling the undead. Coming from Don Coscarelli and based on the Joe R. Lansdale short-story, Bubba Ho-Tep stars Bruce Campbell, Ossie Davis, Ella Joyce, Heidi Marnhout, and Bob Ivy. When mysterious deaths plague a Texas retirement home, it’s up to its most sequined senior citizen to take on a 4,000-year -old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for cowboy boots, bathroom graffiti, and sucking the souls from the barely living.

Bubba Ho-Tep releases on 4K UHD on February 7th, 2023.

The new 4K Collector’s Edition from Scream Factory includes some new special features among ones that are ported over from the previous Blu-ray release. Check out the full list below.
