In addition to being a critical hit, Bubba Ho-Tep was also a festival favorite, playing prestigious international film festivals like the Toronto International Film Festival, SXSW, Florida Film Festival, Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Films, and the Hong Kong International Film festival.

At HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival, Coscarelli was the recipient of the Best Screenplay Award.

At Montreal's FantAsia Festival, Bubba Ho-Tep was the recipient of the Best International Film award.
