Pop Culture from an Alternate Dimension

       If you sat through the end credits (if you sat through the film at all) of Bubba Ho-Tep , the last words on screen were "Elvis Returns in Bubba Nosferatu: "Curse of the She-Vampires" ". The first didn't break any box office records so no sequel happened. but BH-T has gotten a cult following and director/screenwriter Don Coscarelli has wanted to do the sequel for a while. The original star, Bruce Campbell, was not interested and Coscarelli considered Kurt Russell for the role. Russell's first collaboration with director John Carpenter was as Elvis in a TV movie. Paul Giamatti was slated to play Col. Parker and Angus Scrimm playing take off of Boris Karloff. I can't imagine what the final product would be like but above is my best interpretation of it.

  In honor of the Kashyyyk holiday of Life Day I present an alternate Star Wars. Not only did I use alternate casting of people who screen tested for the roles but also used the original title logo and Ralph McQuarrie's original designs for the characters. Since I am going back to the 1970s I also based the design on the movie's original VHS box.
