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.

Special Features include:

Exclusive introduction by Bruce Campbell; audio commentary by director Don Coscarelli and Bruce Campbell; audio commentary by "The King"; optional 5.1 and DTS audio; SDH subtitles;

On arrival at the hospital it is obvious to summers that something is horribly wrong. A number of patients are out roaming the grounds and there is not a single doctor or orderly to be found.

The Detectives first instinct is to call for back up but the remote location makes this impossible. On returning to his vehicle Summers finds that it has been sabotaged with no chance of repair. His only choice is to investigate the Institution himself, so armed with nothing but a police issue truncheon and his wits, Detective John Summers braves the madness and mayhem that is the Suspicious Minds Institution for the Criminally Insane. On his journey into the heart of insanity Summers will discover things at the Hospital are worse than his deepest darkest nightmares and the evil bound to the place is not just limited to the inmates, but is possible controlled by the dark forces of hell itself.

Expect burning psychological horror, brutal intense violence and feeling of terror that will stay with you for months after you have concluded your visit to the Suspious Minds!

A registered nurse will be on hand at theatres to attend to any patrons who suffer from the madness inducing effects of this motion picture.

I thought I'd take a bash at doing some Arrow-style covers for Elvis songs as horror movies. I'm sure you'll notice I repurposed some iconic images Honestly I could do these all night.

Love Me Tender

"You have made his life complete, and he’ll love you so".

How long Jennifer Argento had been unconscious for, she didn’t know. If it hadn’t been for the gag stuffed in her mouth, she’d scream. The sight that greeted her awakening was the stuff of nightmares. She longed to escape this hell but her arms & legs were tightly bound to the seat she was in. The stench of blood & rotting body parts caused the bile to rise in her throat, god she was close to passing out again. Then he entered.

She’d been investigating the murders for the last three months, The Butcher of Graceland, her editor had dubbed the assailant, and it had stuck. Four bodies had been found so far. The coroner had surmised that all the victims had been bludgeoned by a large meat tenderizer, bits of flesh had been bitten off, possibly devoured, and all had shown signs of sexual intercourse post mortem.

The words of warning about getting to close, to involved, given to her by Detective Aaron Presley rang in her ears as the blur of the tenderizer accelerated towards her cranium then. Darkness.
