"Summer Surprise," our annual event where an online randomizer picks our slate of summer movies, kicks off with 1988's attempt to turn the iconic TV horror hostess Elvira into an iconic big screen star...which, obviously, didn't quite work out. But why? With Elvira-mania in full swing in the 80s, what kept the spooky and goofy comedy of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark from connecting with movie audiences? We investigate that question, and also explore the history of the Elvira character and fascinating life of Cassandra Peterson, the woman behind Elvira. All the while, Elvira-neophyte Chris worries an admittedly Elvira-obsessed Trev might not be able to contain himself during the discussion. So, c'mon, don't be a boob; and be sure to listen to one of our breast episodes yet!
