"Oh. I see. Well, the last thing I wanna do is get you guys in any trouble. I mean, so what if it blows my only chance at making a living? I mean, that's not your problem. And if I get so depressed, I wind up hanging myself in the oven... Heck! Those are the breaks. But if they ever ask about me, tell them I was more than just a great set of boobs... I was also an incredible pair of legs. And tell them... Tell them that I never turned down a friend. I never turned down a stranger, for that matter. And tell them... Tell them that when all is said and done, I only ask that people remember me by two simple words... Any two, as long as they're simple." (Hysterical crying) Just found out that Cassandra Peterson came up in the Groundlings, explains a lot lol

"Elvira" is a fun movie. Cassandra Peterson has a real talent for comedy. The actors playing the other characters could have been anyone. Nothing about them stands out. Overall, no one should be surprised that this is about anything other than Elvira's cleavage.

“Unpleasant dreams.” Elvira finally gets her own B-horror movie adventure in Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. When her great aunt dies Elvira heads to a small New England town to collect her inheritance, but Elvira’s punk-rock attitude doesn’t go over too well with the locals. It’s a pretty formulaic set up, and the characters are all one-note stereotypes. Additionally, the sex jokes are incredibly gratuitous and get old rather fast. Still, the cheesiness of it all is fun and the horror movie satire is somewhat clever. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark kind of works as an homage to low-budget horror cinema, but it’s a little too goofy and meta.

This is just a rewatch because I got my hand on the Arrow release, and well...I just wanted to see the b...erm...movie again. Also, I'm still wondering how many meters of boob tape they used to keep everything in place during the production of this movie. If I More
