Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) is a really charming movie that’s actually like Cocoon or Ghost Story, in that it’s really a horror movie about the humiliating inevitability of growing old.
Coscarelli’s whacked-out comedy/horror version of Joe R. Lansdale’s novella never had a conventional release.
Instead 32 prints were “roadshowed” around the country (including various film festivals) to build up anticipation for its appearance on DVD.
Since then it’s generated enough of a cult following to propel a proposed sequel, Bubba Nosferatu, which Don still hopes to get off the ground.
