So, John F. Kennedy, Elvis Presley and a mummy meet in a nursing home... the premise of Don Coscarelli's truly offbeat genre hybrid sounds like a setup for a bar joke, but it delicately straddles the line between rueful comedy and melancholy horror. Deep in Mud Creek, East Texas, a rundown rest home that unwittingly shelters two of the most famous dead people in the world, Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell) and Jack Kennedy (Ossie Davis), is plagued by a rash of suspicious deaths. Actually, no one's all that suspicious — the deceased were all old and infirm. But Elvis is suspicious: He's seen a mighty peculiar individual stalking — all right, shuffling around
