She's back! Elvira, Horrorland's hostess with the mostest, finally busts out on Blu-ray with this long-awaited, positively-bursting-at-the-seams special edition of her big screen debut, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark!
Having just quit her job as a Los Angeles TV horror hostess, Elvira receives the unexpected news that she's set to inherit part of her great-aunt Morgana's estate. Arriving in the small town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to claim her inheritance, Elvira receives a less than enthusiastic reception from the conservative locals - amongst them, her sinister uncle Vinny, who unbeknownst to Elvira, is an evil warlock who secretly schemes to lay his hands on the old family spellbook for his own nefarious ends...
Campy, quirky and stuffed to the brim with more double entendres than your average Carry On movie, 1988's Elvira: Mistress of the Dark helped solidify the horror hostess (played by Cassandra Peterson) as a major pop culture icon, here owning every inch of the screen with her quick wit, sass, and of course, cleaving-enhancing gown!

Simply Great Fun!
Is there seriously anybody out there who does not know or is at least familiar with Elvira? Well I am sure there is but it's their loss. Simply put, this is a cult film with all of the pitfalls that a film such as this invites - plenty of laugh out loud bits and plenty of mediocre stuff as well. There is a bit of a story included regarding Elvira's inheritance culminating in a colourful fun battle with her evil cousin but these are superfluous. You only ever watch this film to see Elvira looking super hot and having fun and Cassandra Peterson plays her to the limit. Great fun, a product of its time and well worth the watch - recommended.

Hilarious
The film was a blind buy as part of the Arrow sale and I absolutely loved it, as far as the product goes It would be nice if it could be made clearer there would be no slipcover/booklet.

Elvira in HighDef
Just watched the New Arrow High Def version of Elvira Mistress of the dark...and it looks excellent, sound was crystal clear, and overall the film looks great. Still hold up after all these years, still funny, and the documentary in the extras is a must watch clocking in at 1hr 37mins its self. Overall highly recommended.
