No Hope for the Dead

No Hope for the Dead was also titled A Date with Elvis. The story is about an Elvis Celebrity Contest being held at The International hotel ( later becoming the Las Vegas Hilton). The contest takes place in what had been Elvis' main room. A dark character named Trenchcoat does not like the exploitation of Elvis' name to make money. He appears in the shadows during the contest with an oversized puppet that looks like Elvis. The eyes move. The head moves. It is kind of sinister. He later hands the Elvis puppet to the contest winner with the words: "From someone upstairs looking down on you!" The winner takes the puppet to his hotel room. Later that night the puppet tries to kill the Elvis winner with a knife. If Trenchcoat is near, someone is about to die.
