Elvira's Movie Macabre

Inazuma · 10-03-2010 11:24 AM

Don't know how many folks know this, but Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is back on TV after.. what? 20 years? She's hosting her show again. Appears to be syndicated. It airs at midnight on Saturdays on a local broadcast channel where I live. So far she's done Night of the Living Dead and something called the Terror (which is truly terrible).

It's nice to see her on the air again. She can still fill out that dress, too. Not bad for a woman of almost 60. O_O

You can check her website for local listings. Great viewing with Halloween coming up. http://www.elvira.com/

loved her back in the day when she was on that LA station. Movie Macabre and Fangoria magazine saw me through some rough times in my youth.

...didn't they have a reality show to find the next Elvira? why is she still on tv?

Thanks for the heads up I so missed watching her. I will have to record her new show since I am sleeping at the time she is aired here in the Chicago area.

Elvira's back on the air?! Oh **** yes. Missed the show so far, but will definitely tune in next week. I loved her show when I was a kid.

I'm not sure what time zone their local listings page is using. It claims 3 AM in my area (MST), but it actually airs at midnight here.

In any case, thank goodness for tivo.

Yay Elvira!

First ran into her on UK TV doing Heavy Metal Heaven late-night for BBC2, which was pretty much the same deal but introducing rock vids, short interviews and movies like Spinal Tap. I'm stll looking for one of those dagger belts in my size...

Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

Back in college I had a roommate who supposedly did an interview with Elvira for a school newspaper back around 1990.
That's it, no real story beyond that - I just like to flaunt my extensive connections to famous people.
