The film was an instant cult classic, but was never intended to have a sequel. A line in the credits, teasing the upcoming Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires, was meant to be a self-evident joke — but the movie’s continued popularity led Don Coscarelli, who wrote and directed the film, to later pen Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic-Blood Suckers, first as a novel and later as a comic book adaptation from IDW Publishing. At the time, Campbell had sworn off franchise films, making a sequel unlikely, but his appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness suggests it’s possible he could be persuaded.
You can pre-order the disc here. The collector’s edition includes a theatrical poster, custom box art, and an enamel pin set. There are cheaper verisons on the website that don’t have as many bells and whistles, so don’t let that $100 price sticker scare you off. You can also find the standard 4K Blu-ray here on Amazon.
You can see the official announcement (via Scream Factory’s Instagram page) below.
BUBBA HO-TEP is coming to 4K UHD February 7, 2023. The comedy horror stars #BruceCampbell as an aging and cantankerous “Elvis” in this “zinger-filled crowd-pleaser” (The Hollywood Reporter) from writer-director #DonCoscarelli, who has autographed the poster in one of our bundle options! When mysterious deaths plague a Texas retirement home, it’s up to its most sequined senior citizen to take on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for cowboy boots, bathroom graffiti and sucking the souls from the barely living!
Plus, #ScreamFactory and @GutterGarbs have teamed up to bring you the official Bubba Ho-Tep Collectible Enamel Pin Set, exclusive to ShoutFactory.com and limited to 600 units with art from Matthew Skiff (@thew).
