The movie Bubba Ho-Tep finally arrives at City Cinema in Charlottetown on Wednesday. I haven't had this much anticipation for a movie in a very long time. Oh, the suspense is killing me. Anything this preposterous has to be good...

Elvis, confined to a Mud Creek, Texas, rest home with cancer of the penis (yes), is believed to be Sebastian Haff, the famous Elvis impersonator. Elvis, however, bored out of his mind in retirement, years earlier signed a contract with Haff that allowed Elvis to go on the road as Haff performing as Elvis. The document was lost in a freak BBQ accident, so although the proof is gone, the real Elvis is still thought of as Haff. JFK, who also happens to be in Mud Creek, was dyed black after the assassination attempt in a further piece of the larger conspiracy.

Working daily to continue to unravel the true story surrounding his shooting, he and Elvis become quick friends and team up first as co-fighters against a squad of rat-sized predatory medieval creatures that have come to Mud Creek for some reason. But soon, bigger evils are afoot, in the form of the great, lost Egyptian mummy Bubba Ho-Tep, who also finds Mud Creek a nice place to hang out. Elvis and JFK discover that a bus containing a traveling Egyptian museum roadshow was lost in a nearby lake in the 1960s. Now, the lost mummies, creatures, and other artifacts are coming to the surface, ready to kill again. The wheelchair-bound JFK and the King prepare for a battle against Bubba Ho-Tep, who is mystically drawn to Elvis. So how, you ask, can any of this be any good?
