Geschichte
In Bubba Ho-tep, we follow Elvis Presley's fate after his supposed death. We find him living as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home under the alias Sebastian Haff. Years ago, he switched identities with an Elvis impersonator but missed his chance to switch back. Meanwhile, another surprising resident at the home is a wheelchair-bound John F. Kennedy, who has been alive and aging slowly since his assassination. Their peaceful retirement is disrupted when a soul-stealing ancient Egyptian mummy, known as Bubba Ho-tep, begins preying on the residents. Elvis, now using a walker, and JFK must join forces to combat this supernatural threat and protect their fellow residents.
