Cover to Cover #110: Joe R. Lansdale / Don Coscarelli

April 19, 2004 by Michael R. Mennenga

Bubba Ho-Tep by Joe R. LansdaleInterview: Joe R. Lansdale is the author of the original short story from which the movie Bubba Ho-Tep was made. No, Elvis didn’t die. Yes, JFK had his brain stolen and his skin dyed black. And both of them team up to fight an evil soul-sucking mummy feeding off the elderly resident of a rest home. Strange, wild stuff.

Want more of Joe’s strange stuff? Check out his latest installment of The Drive In, relased by Subterranean Press.

Interview: Let’s carry the Bubba Ho-Tep theme forward for just a bit. Best known for the cult classics Phantasm and The Beastmaster, Don Coscarelli wrote the screenplay for Bubba Ho-Tep, and directed the film. He’s cast Bruce Campbell as Elvis and Ossie Davis as JFK. If you can’t catch the movie in theaters, buy it on DVD in just a few weeks!
