Elvira's Haunted Hills... OK for Elvira Fans!
10 of 12 people found this review helpful.
For those that aren't aware... Elvira is the alter ego of Cassandra Peterson who was born September 17, 1949.
Elvira gained fame on the Los Angeles television station KHJ wearing a black, gothic, cleavage-enhancing gown as host of Movie Macabre, a weekly horror movie presentation, from 1981 - 1993.
Her wickedly vampish appearance was offset by her comical character, quick witted personality and Valley girl-type speech. Although when portraying the Elvira character she wears a large black wig, Peterson herself is a natural redhead.
I lived in LA during the early years of Elvira being on TV, moved back to San Diego area and watched her go on to nationwide fame. She has had several tie-ins to Halloween events, which she naturally fits right in with!
At a recent SDCC program, (2001), Elvira presented a feature showing of her latest movie 'Elvira's Haunted Hills' which I sat thru most of it.... it was the right type of crowd to see the movie with !!
Besides her movies on DVD and a licensed comic book, Elvira has a MySpace Page, and an offical web site. Not bad for someone who took over the Fright Night Show from 'Sinister Seymour' in LA all those years ago !!
In summary, this DVD would be OK to watch with other Elvira fans!
