_**Elvira returns to the silver screen after 13

_**Elvira returns to the silver screen after 13 years**_ Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) is traveling through the Carpathian Mountains in 1851 with her servant (Mary Jo Smith). They’re on their way to Paris when they’re invited to spend the night at the creepy Hellsubus castle by a physician (Scott Atkinson). Richard O'Brien plays the tormented lord of the manor while Mary Scheer appears as his dubious wife. Heather Hopper is on hand as their cute niece, the poster child for catalepsy. “Elvira’s Haunted Hills” (2001) is the follow-up to “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark” (1988), the latter of which was a fun flick but failed at the box office due to its main distributing company going under just before it was scheduled to be released (it was supposed to show at 2500 theaters, but only made it to 500). Cassandra couldn’t get studio funding for this prequel and so she & her then-husband put up $1 million with an additional $500,000 from relatives. As such, this movie cost 6 times LESS than the previous one from 13 years earlier (factoring in inflation). While there’s a 13 year gap between these two films and Cassandra was 49 years-old during shooting, you wouldn’t know it by her fit form & all-around animated beauty. Another plus is the authentic Transylvania locations with a real castle (although the indoor scenes were obviously shot on studio sets). Despite the gross lack of funds compared to the prior movie, this one proves to be colorful and entertaining if you appreciate the eye-rolling goofy humor associated with Elvira. While the former flick is technically better due to having way more funds to work with, I like this one more as far as all-around entertainment goes. I suppose it’s because I favor the setting, which parodies 60’s horror flicks, like “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1961), “The Terror” (1963) and “Dracula, Prince of Darkness” (1966). It recalls horror send-ups “The Fearless Vampire Killers” (1967) and “Young Frankenstein” (1974), but I actually prefer this one despite the much lower budget and lack of ‘stars.’ The film runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Transylvania, Romania, with studio work done in Bucharest. GRADE: B-

This was a very good horror movie spoof

Horror movies deserve their own separate rating scale than "regular' movies. This was a good 7 for me. If you like comedy, horror or Elvira, any of those will get you in the door. Cassandra Peterson is a scream. The movie is dedicated to Vincent Price and his gothic Poe movies, it also owes lots to Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Scarey Movie series, and all obvious horror flik clichés. Sexy, clever, silly, farcical, never missing an opportunity for a gag, and like I said, Elvira has incomparable assets. The production values are as good as necessary for a spoof of gothic, dark, shadowy flicks.

funny but corny maybe over done.

If you are a fan of Elvira then you might just get a kick out of this movie. It was a long over due sequel. it might have had better success if it was released closer to the original Elvira movie. or if they had mad a fuss about it and re released Elvira Mistress of the Dark. If you were a fan of Elvira when you were a kid and saw the original Elvira movie and the TV show you might have been waiting a long time for the Elvira sequel. you might be disappointed by the story line but you will not be sad about the was Elvira still looks okay is was alright ill recommend it. Ilke give it a 7 out of 10. if you liked Elvira then watch it but i still recommend the first movie she did more then this one.love yours truly also you can email me at [email protected]
