Cassandra Peterson

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
$9.98
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is a favorite horror host of mine. I used to watch her on late night TV and was happy that she made a film of her own. With the advent of commercial DVD's, it is now possible to own these films for personal use. I have seen the film several times and like to watch it often.
The setting of New England, a past center of witchcraft, is perfect in an updated horror film. The pursuit of a Vegas career is a modern twist. As a fan of stippers, Elvira's stage act is a throwback to old burlesque. All in all, I am happy to own a film favorite.

Elvira's Haunted Hills
$9.98
For those not in the know, ELVIRA is the amazing creation of actress extraordinaire CASSANDRA PETERSON!!! Die hard fans have been waiting for a second vehicle for sooo long and will be rewarded with this wonderfully wacky parody/tribute of the 1960's Corman/Poe/Price horror films. ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS is not a sequel to the much beloved 1988 camp classic ELVIRA MISTRESS OF THE DARK, but rather an entirely new and equally fulfilling celluloid romp. I find ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS 1851 Carpathia the perfect realm for ELVIRA to be forever cemented in. We find our heroine surrounded in Gothic atmosphere haunting the same fogged hallways she used to host on MOVIE MACABRE, all the while wonderfully spoofing too many Horror/Comedy genere cliches to count. ELVIRA'S in top form both physically and comedically; as her impeccable line delievery and gorgeous animated face once again crown her the QUEEN OF CAMP, - not to mention HALLOWEEN!!! The film has some hilarious moments and is a brilliant homage to the above mentioned people, films, and stories. Made on a shoestring budget and filmed in Romania; this movie nonetheless has some really striking sets, interesting location work, and a emotive soundtrack featuring the Russian State Orchestra. My only reservations about the film are that at times it could have a little more bite, and the second half of the film needed a bit more infusion of humor. Dispite these few grievances, ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS does have plenty going for it to please her diverse fan base and who those who enjoy the Camp/Horror/Comedy genres. ELVIRA really is a hell of alot of fun in this movie and I only wish she would have done more feature films. This character has unfortunitely been greatly under used by Hollywood (a colossal missed opportunity!!!) so check out this gem and her first flick too - UNPLEASANT DREAMS !!!!!
