Billy Bob Ho-Tep


Yeah, what can I say? I think part of what makes this movie work is that our protagonists are two of the largest icons in American history. At least they say they are, and with a nice touch they are both victims of American conspiracies. This is sort of a one up on ABBOT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY. They should make a follow up called FRANKENSTEIN YEAH YEAH YEAH with the Beatles encountering Dr. Frankenstein's Creation in their pre-pop years in Germany. I can see it now, Stuart Sutcliffe's body in Frankenstein's castle strapped on the revivifing table while the lads are chased around the catacombs by squealing girls. Luckily Ringo shows up in the end to save the day...

Paging Doctor Goldfoot!
