Fewer personalities in horror have the presence of Shlock Horror Queen Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, known for her Vampira ripoff act and massive mammories.
And now 17 years after her show Movie Macabre was canceled (which featured B Horror films hosted and interupted by commentary by Elvira) a new version will hit the small screen this fall.
According to Elvira’s B-Log “Elvira’s Movie Macabre” will be officially making its return to television this fall with all NEW episodes! All dates, times, and channels are TBA later this summer. The show is syndicated (national) so times and channels will depend on your area/market.
Well some things never age and artificial breasts are one of them. Given the wonder of modern makeup, the now aging Cassandra Peterson will be gothing it up again in an updated version of her show.
The best part about the show was the not so subtle inuendo and puns that were actually clever. It wasn’t just a busty goth vampiress introducing the shows, her dialogue was seductively smart, which added to her appeal.
I look forward to seeing what they do with her show for this entirely new generation. Maybe Peterson should pass the torch to Marina Orlova who seems to be mixing the same personality and brains with less than subtle sexuality.
