Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) is a movie I recently rewatched on Shudder. The storyline follows your favorite horror late night personality as she looks to start a new job in Vegas; unfortunately for her, she needs to front half the bill for the show. Lucky for Elvira a recently passed aunt has died and included her in her will. Is this the big break she needs? This movie is directed by James Signorelli (Police Academy 2) and stars Cassandra Peterson (Pee-Wes's Playhouse), Bill Morey (Death Race 2000), Daniel Greene (Me, Myself & Irene) and Jeff Conaway (Grease). The presentation of Elvira in this was perfect. Peterson was perfect - her script, mannerisms and props (like the car, dog, etc) we're all excellent. There was a lot of witty banter in this as well as some elements that felt very 80s (I think there were 3 montages). The soundtrack is very fun and this movie does a great job of not taking itself too seriously. I also loved seeing her pull into town - you can quickly recognize the Warner Brothers set from Gremlins and Monster Squad in the background. Overall this is a fun and nostalgic movie that is definitely worth a viewing. I'd score this a solid 7/10. Oh yeah, her closing act is excellent.
