Summary: "Putting the boob back into the boob tube"
Comment: Elvira's first feature film Mistress of the Dark is such an appealing, campy, clever, funny romp with great one-liners and charming performances all around! Tired of hosting cheap horror films and being harassed at work, Elvira dreams of performing her own show in Las Vegas. As luck would have it, she receives a telegram after quitting her job notifying her that her great aunt has passed away and can she come to Falwell, Massachusetts for the reading of the will. As Elvira says "I didn't even know I had a good aunt much less a great one!" Thinking she will be picking up a big inheritance to pay for her show in Vegas, she sets off for the quiet, conservative town of Falwell. Unfortunately, her car breaks down when she arrives and the reading of the will doesn't quite go as expected. Now she must begin looking for a job or sell her newly acquired home otherwise she will lose the showroom in Vegas and her dreams will be shattered. If that weren't enough, she has to do battle with an evil uncle who wants her great aunt's recipe book which holds valuable magical power, the town's old bities who want her gone and a jealous rival who wants her new boyfriend. Will Elvira and her trusty "familiar" Gonk be able to last long enough in order to see Vegas? Watch this terrific flick and find out! Also recommended: Pee Wee's Big Adventure which features Elvira in a cameo role.

Summary: Elviras Got It!!!!and then some
Comment: I've always love Cassandra Peterson, aka Elvira Mistress of the Dark. I just love the camp aspect of her, but also that she is strong and you know even though she maybe battle warlocks or the town mob, she's always going to come out on top, and if you've seen the movie that one will make you giggle a little bit, and can we say OMG for BOB in that movie, He doesn't say much but he doesn't have too...

Summary: Fun and Frivalace
Comment: As expected, Elvira was her entertaining, cheesy self and exactly what I needed. It's silly, clever and fun all rolled into one and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a video to take your mind off life's troubles.

Summary: Vamp Romp
Comment: Elvira does a nice job of romping through this comedy based on her TV character. She heads out to find out her portion of an inheritance and finds a disgruntled Uncle wants her Aunt's cookbook, not Elvira's assets. He must be a Eunick. While the town finds Elvira to be a grotesque floozy, the kids think she's cool. Elvira abiding by her own methods sets out to get money for the Las Vegas act by selling cookbook, house, dog, and anything eles not nailed down. Naturally along the way she begins to appreciate the value of them and is almost burned at the stake as well. Many funny skits. One of my favorites is her dream about her inheritance being like a TV game show with prizes offered in the same manner. I recommend it, especially to any Elvira fan. Most the humor is geared towards adults, but I found myself amused in a Jim Varney sort of way throughout the movie.

Summary: Elvira.....an absolute dream
Comment: I don't care how old she is....Elvira is hott.Though this isn't the greatest movie ever made is is certainly not the worst.It's a funny flick that laughs at itself.But the star of the show is all that matters.She is gorgeously hott and extremely easy on the eyes.Obviously,I recommend this movie.
