366 Days at the Drive-In: Day 242

The Date: May 29

The Movie: Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

What Is It?: Elvis and JFK didn’t die way back when, but they are wasting away their final days in a rest home full of patronizing staff members. Things look up for the dynamic duo when a soul-sucking mummy invades the home and gives them something to fight. Shockingly sincere.

Why Today?: On this day in 1917, JFK is born.

366 Days at the Drive-In: Day 133

The Date: February 10

The Movie: Evil Dead II (1987)

What Is It?: Sam Raimi revisits his break-out, low-budget horror fave Evil Dead with wilder camera movements, zanier ideas, and heaps of Three Stooges humor. It’s groovy.

Why Today?: Today is Ash Wednesday.
