Topic	I'm watching a horror movie every day this month and writing about them
Xiahou Shake 10/11/18 5:47:42 PM #38:	Day 10: Elvira Mistress of the Dark Premise: Elvira, the TV horror host with the huge talent, clashes with residents of a morally uptight small town when she inherits a dusty old mansion My first time: No This one is purely a nostalgia bomb for me youll probably enjoy this movie if you like boobs, double entendres and cheap laughs. Those three (or four) things are all this movie really has, but it has a whole lot of them! I guess Ill fill up the rest of this by talking about Elvira herself, because Im honestly not sure if shes at all popular or well-known in the rest of the country! Id wager most major horror fans in the LA/OC area know the name Elvira. With her punky, gothic vampire get-up and her iconic assets, she rose to fame in the 80s with Elviras Movie Macabre, a show that aired B-grade horror movies on one of the local networks. Sprawled out on her couch, Elvira would provide witty humor and eye candy between commercial breaks and even occasionally interrupt the movie to rib on how bad they were. You could almost think of it as a proto-Mystery Science Theater 3000 exclusively for campy horror flicks. Her popularity hit its peak when this movie was made, but shes hung around for a surprising time, never really losing her unique charm or sense of fun. From the 80s all the way to just a couple of years ago, her original actress continued doing the annual revue for the Halloween event at a local theme park one just 5 minutes from my childhood home, in fact! I was lucky enough to see one of her last shows in person just a few years ago. Just recently, she retired the character the fact that she was able to continue pulling off a chesty seductress all the way into her late 60s is nothing short of astounding, Id say! The movie has a I hope I look that good at that age joke that seemed especially funny now in light of how long this character stayed relevant around here. I couldnt help but feel a small twang of sadness watching this and knowing we wont be getting any more of Elviras brand of humor, but its hard to complain about nearly 40 years of comedy! So long, Elvira, and thanks for the mammories.~ Next time: A movie I know nothing about, but I'm geneuinely excited to see! --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! <cite>Xiahou Shake posted [p:910366490] in I'm wa...
