She's back and she's badder than ever! Yep, in case you were unaware, Elvira returned to the air last September with a new incarnation of her '80s "Movie Macabre" show. In the old days, the bewigged one was at the mercy of her bosses and network censors. She had no control over which movies were shown and, although she spouted off as many double-entendres as the (TV) law would allow, she couldn't be as sleazy as she wanted to be. Well, times have changed, and now she's her own boss, which means a lot of z-grade '50s-'70s trash and dirty jokes galore!
Four episodes of the new series are now available on two discs. First up is the classic "Night of the Living Dead" (the premiere episode) and the moronic "I Eat Your Skin," which (as Elvira points out) contains no actual skin-eating. Volume 2 includes the dull schlocker "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" (which was enlivened by some humorous editing during its broadcast) and the likably dopey "Werewolf of Washington." If you're looking into the show for the first time, "Werewolf of Washington" is a great place to start -- if for no other reason than to see Elvira's deadpan send-up of Sarah Palin:
Both discs seem to have the same special features: Behind the scenes, photo shoot, Ghoultown music video, and previews. Retail price is $14.98, amazon's got 'em for $10.99.
On August 14th, two more sets of DVDs will be released, including the Roger Corman/Jack Nicholson snoozer "The Terror" with the Arch Hall Jr. musical campfest "Eegah," and the tacky classic "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" with the cornball, aptly-named "The Manster."
Probably should mention that the theme song, "What Can I Do?" by The Black Belles, is available as a 7" picture disc from Thirdman Records. One side is the instrumental (featured during the opening credits), the other includes lyrics (featured during the closing credits), and it comes wrapped in a fold-out coffin sleeve (above), featuring Elvira on the front and her makeup secrets (along with a pic of The Black Belles) on the back.
Plus elvira.com recently got a massive makeover, which includes exclusive content for her fan club members! After a near-decade-long absence from the spotlight (save for that moronic reality show), it's good to finally have Elvira back!
