  • #78 - Elvira: Mistress of the Dark

    In this week's episode we are discussing the Iconic Elvira, and the characters first foray into film. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is a wild horror comedy from the  80's featuring everyone's favourite spooky late night host.

    We discuss our shared fandom of Elvira and how we both discovered her.

    How well has this movie held up? and also was it a little ahead of its time?

    We talk about how great Elvira is as the central character and how she represented a different kind of female protagonist than was the norm in the 80s.

    We get into the films plot, the characters, favourite moments, as well as touching upon the much maligned Elvira's Haunted Hills follow up.

    Simon also throws in a couple of film recommendations to have a triple bill alongside this.
