Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is back from the dead. The girl with the enormous….ratings (get your mind out of the gutter will ya? Geeze!) Is returning with brand new Movie Macabre. The horror hostess is dusting off her Victorian red couch and prepping the best B movies she can find, to bring you quality horror entertainment.
Elvira is known for her big hair, makeup, tight fitting (low cut) black gown that has become a staple in the history of Halloween costumes. Men want to do her, women want to dress up as her and gay boys ….well they want to BE her. In the 1980’s, Elvira’s Movie Macabre screened B grade (or lower) horror flicks found in the “never to be seen” dungeon. Elvira would sarcastically (but truthfully) criticize different aspects about each film -all while delivering her double entendres. The set featured a castle like backdrop, her classic Victorian red couch and spooky candelabras.
I was born in the early 80’s and did not get a chance to see Movie Macabre first hand. I am very glad a new generation will get to experience the larger than life Elvira. Movie Macabre airs on September 25th and the networks have yet to be announced. Check out the promo video or visit her official facebook for more information.
