  • This week on "The Horror Movie That Almost Was" we're diving into the Bruce Campbell-starring cult classic NOT named Evil Dead. That's right, we're taking a look at "Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She Vampires." Why was this movie unable to get funding? Why did Campbell lose interest in the sequel? And why on earth did we never get this film despite so many heavy hitters being involved? We hope to answer all those questions and more...

    I was a college student at the time this came out and I remember walking to campus past this small, independent movie theater downtown that was in an old converted funeral home. I saw the title and it said, "Starring Bruce Campbell" and I just had to see it. I went to campus and finished my classes that day and then walked back to see the times for the show. I bought a ticket and sat in a small theater room with maybe a dozen other people on a Wednesday and watched what I thought was just about the strangest thing I have ever seen on a screen. I absolutely loved it! I catch it every now and again on late-night or something and still love it. Any time I meet someone and I find out they not only know this movie exists but that they love it too they immediately gain a lot of points in my book.

    Joe R. Landsdale, who wrote the novella that "Bubba Ho-Tep" was based on did write a prequel, "Bubba and the Cosmic Bloodsuckers," which does involve Elvis and Col. Parker fighting vampires. As a fan, I thought it was really good, and it's even better that the book also features the original novella as a bonus.

    I'm with Bruce. This is a great movie and not everything needs a sequel. So many classic movies have had crappy sequels that took the shine off of the original movies. S. Darko anyone? I say just let Bubba rest in peace. And re-watch the movie if you need more! The Evil Dead sequels work, and I'm glad they made more, because the second is my favorite and I love the rest, as well. But this movie just wasn't screaming for more. If Coscarelli is going to do anything else, I hope it's a Phantasm 6! Yeah, I know Angus Scrimm died, but it would be nice to continue in some form. The last one was decent and I'm satisfied with it. But I've always wondered what the endgame of the story is.

    I remember meeting Don Coscarelli in 2005 at the Horrorfind convention and asking him about a sequel and he was also talking about the idea that Elvis (in the past) was working on that vampire movie and tells the nurse about it - so basically what you said in the video. Nice to know that, even though the project never started, that still was the idea :-)

    I would love for there to be another Bubba movie. I mean hell look at ghostbusters afterlife and how long it took Bill Murray to come back so could Bruce change his mind eventually? Yeah I hope so. One of the things about his Elvis character is that Bruce still has some time before he ages out of the character. Hell the longer he waits means the less about of makeup he will need to pull off the role.

    Honestly at this point I'm glad this movie never got a sequel. Maybe if they'd struck while the iron was hot, Bubba-Nosferatu could have been great. But that's a VERY BIG MAYBE. As it is, Bubba Ho-tep is a pretty little gem all on its own and that's fun to watch, especially with friends, without having the memory of some terrible sequel hanging over our heads like so many other hit films eventually have.
    Bubba Ho-tep stands alone. All is well.

    Bruce’s role as Sebastian Haff is second only only to his Ash? Maybe in terms of fame, but Ash is not his best role, at least not in my mind!
    I think Bruce Campbell’s best role was in _Bubba Ho-Tep!_ And I think his second best might be as Sam Axe in _Burn Notice…_ don’t get me wrong, I love the _Evil Dead_ movies but I think he’s done better!

    Honestly I wouldn't wanna see a Bubba Ho Tep sequel without the late Ossie Davis. He was such a kindly, smart, dignified actor and his chemistry with an often over the top actor such as Campbell, was not just unexpected but perfect. However seeing Bubba Roswell might have been great. Although I don't think the Ho Tep series could fly today or at least the first film. The crazy woke Twitter crowd would stupidly get offended with Davis pretending to be a bleached skinned JFK. It's ridiculous when you think that the movie is only from 2002. They probably could continue with the series but hearing what they did to the Coming to America sequel edgy comedy, especially sequels seem to be in serious decline these days.
