Would that be an ‘out from the sea sponge’ or the synthetic variety (which would account for the later in life bloating)?

The Cult of Elvis for many years was a scary thing, but it seems to be subsiding now, two generations after his death.

Elvis started the “Cult of Elvis” as a protective measure for himself. Once he became an ageless vampire he knew he had to sunset his life and leave. However he created a person to take his place and he was the one that died. The vampire Elvis is safe among the cult, he does get remarks he looks remarkable like the dead Elvis Aaron Presley buy those who see him and hear is dulcet voice. He and Bruce Lee go out at night to take on criminals and kill them and sup on their hemoplasm every third night.
