Bruce Campbell's BUBBA HO-TEP is Getting a 4K Release From Scream Factory
Bruce Campbell’s classic 2002 cult flick Bubba Ho-Tep is coming to 4K UHD in February, thanks to Scream Factory! I love this movie and it’s actually been a while since I’ve watched it, but I’ll be looking forward to reviving it when it’s released in 4K!
Campbell (Army of Darkness) plays Elis Presley in the movie and Ossie Davis (Do The Right Thing) takes on the role of John F. Kennedy. In the story, “After falling into a lengthy coma following a freak accident involving hip gyration, a now aged Elvis Presley wakes up in an East Texas nursing home, where he befriends Jack, an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy. After residents of their quiet retirement community start dying of dubiously unnatural causes, Elvis and Jack discover that the perpetrator is Bubba Ho-Tep (Bob Ivy), an Egyptian mummy with murderous intentions.”
The Buba Ho-Tep collectors edition is currently up for pre-order. The collector's edition includes a theatrical poster, custom box art, and an enamel pin set. There are also cheaper versions available if you don’t want to pay $120.99.

BUBBA HO-TEP is coming to 4K UHD February 7, 2023. The comedy horror stars #BruceCampbell as an aging and cantankerous "Elvis" in this "zinger-filled crowd-pleaser" (The Hollywood Reporter) from writer-director #DonCoscarelli, who has autographed the poster in one of our bundle options! When mysterious deaths plague a Texas retirement home, it's up to its most sequined senior citizen to take on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for cowboy boots, bathroom graffiti and sucking the souls from the barely living!
It’s a shame that we never got that sequel film Bubba Nosferatu.
