Elvira bursts out in her outrageously funny feature film debut. When her Great Aunt dies, famed horror hostess Elvira heads for the uptight New England town of Falwell to claim her inheritance of a haunted house, a witch's cookbook and a punk rock poodle. But once the stuffy locals get an eyeful of the scream queen's ample assets, all hell busts out and breaks loose. Can "The Madonna Of The Macabre" find love with a studly cinema owner, avoid her creepy Great Uncle, titillate the town's teens and become a Las Vegas dance sensation all without being burned alive at the stake? Cassandra Peterson stars in this sexy comedy hit, filled with wild wisecracks, campy chaos and scary movie spoofs, all poured into the lowest-cut black gown in horror movie history!
"Elvira is a hilarious over-the-top comic creation." Toronto Star
"Elvira is a special effect even Spielberg can't match." New York City Metro
"Campy charm." Los Angeles Daily News
Editor's Note
A goofy, campy, poke at puritanism and a sly wink at a host of horror films, ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK is much more fun than it has any right to be. Dreaming of financing her own show in Las Vegas, Elvira leaves Hollywood in her customized "Macabremoblie" to claim what she thought was an inheritance. However, upon arriving in Fallwell, MA, all she finds is two drooling yokels, an overzealous morality brigade and a creepy great-uncle with more on his mind than long-lost relatives. With her penchant for double entendres and low cut dresses, Elvira scandalizes the town and soon finds herself in danger of being burned at the stake, jeopardizing her chances of ever making it to Vegas.
Plot Summary
A buxom, down-on-her-luck TV host inherits a spooky house. The slinky, outrageous Elvira shocks and delights the straitlaced community. To get back to Vegas, she has to fend off horny villagers and sell the house, malevolent spirits included.
