Product Description

Synopsis

Dreaming of financing her own show in Las Vegas, Elvira leaves glitzy Hollywood in her cool customised 'Macabremobile' to claim what she thought was an inheritance. Instead 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Hey yeah, I'll do it for $50!", 18 Sep 2004
By Brandon L. Harlow (Colonial Heights, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Elvira-Mistress of the Dark [DVD] (DVD)
Picked up this DVD for $5 tonight and LOVE it! What an all-time camp classic! Elvira throws out the zingers like nobody's business!

A lecherous TV producer walks over and says "they call me Longhorn, care to guess why?" She responds, "Does it have anything to do with your breath?"

And how about the shape-shifting poodle she dresses in leather studded straps and a pink mohawk! Gonk rocks!

Even Edie McClurg pops up as the local town prude and after getting a dose of a love potion laced casserole walks over to a guy laying on the ground and asks, "Excuse me...is this face taken?" and plops down right on him! Too much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvira Rocks, 2 May 2001
This review is from: Elvira-Mistress of the Dark [DVD] (DVD)
In the past couple of years I must have watched this film at least a hundred times and I never ever tire of it. Elvira's fight against morality and Chastity Pariah is a lesson to us all. And she has some of the best one-liners in the history of film ('no, but if you hum a few bars I'll fake it'). This is a gothic masterpiece of double-entendres, which everyone should have the priveledge of seeing. Plus, Elvira's Flashdance routine is one of the best scenes in any film ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Camp fun, 10 Nov 2004
By dragondrums "dragondrums" (Ingleby Barwick, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Elvira-Mistress of the Dark [DVD] (DVD)
There is nothing subtle about this film. The cast all ham it up outrageously and the movie is all the better for it! Blowsy goth Elvira hits small town America with a bang when she inherits a house and a shape changing dog from an old aunt. The prudish folk of this New England town are horrified by her outrageous dress and outspoken ways whilst the youngsters of the town love this excitment that has come into their lives.
There are some hilarious scenes, such as the one where Elvira gives her inherited poodle a 'makeover', turning it into a black, white and pink concoction festooned in leather and studs.
This is a film that could never be called intellectual or even mainstream but for anyone open minded enough to enjoy something a little different, it's certainly worth a look.

I watched this film several years ago. It is full of double-entendres and is absolutely hilarious if you are quick witted enough to catch them. It's well worth a viewing.
