No Death for Me
Post-crypt horror in the ever-homeward Eastertide spirit.
The Awakening
I recently visited Queen Hatshepsut, the model for the mummy in The Awakening and the novel it’s based on: Bram Stoker’s wild horror/fantasy The Jewel of Seven Stars.
Bubba Ho-Tep
The premise alone is cinematic gold. It’s the early 21st century and Elvis (a heavily made-up Bruce Campbell) is alive, unwell, and confined to a dilapidated rural nursing home in Mud Creek, Texas, where the residents slurp, gag, and fart during mealtimes and loved ones only come to visit when you’re dead so they can toss your precious keepsakes in the trash.
