I watch it, so should you! - Elvira, Mistress of the Dark - DVD

And if they ever ask about me, tell them I was more than just a great set of boobs. I was also an incredible pair of legs. And tell them... tell them that I never turned down a friend. I... never turned down a stranger for that matter. And tell them... tell them that when all is said and done, I only ask that people remember me by two simple words. Any two, as long as they're simple.

Hey you there! If you haven't guessed up to now whom this quote is about you seriously need to do some research for your knowledge of pop culture! I am talking about Elvira: The Mistress of the Dark. Caassandra Peterson's classic goth character is a catch! The Mistress of the Dark is a vamp first class with 2 lovely boo.. uhm i mean 2 lovely qualities: humor and rapier wit! The b-class horror movie hostess with the bimbo bombshell figure might come across as the dumb girl that is easy to get. But believe me, she might be a lil slutty, but she is not easy to get! She uses her body to get what she wants but, she is not for hire! And Elvira is something else: dumb, dumb, dumb. But in a very lovely and surprisingly world working way. 

In the movie she works as a horror hostess and quits her job, to follow her dream: a Vegas show. She needs money to do so, and the death of her aunt Morgana promises her a huge inheritance, at least she thinks so. All she gets is a poodle, an old house and a 300 years old "recipe" book, which is a magic book, which her uncle Vinnie is after since its existence. But of course Elvira does nit know that. She tries to sell the house and has it pretty difficult in the little town where her aunt lived. She makes friends with the teenager but has lots of trouble with the morality committee. Most of the inhabitants of the village don't like her. She does nit fit into the world of the town, which honestly is a world of bigotry. And besides the fact that she does not fit into the town, her boobs nearly do not fit the dress. 

All in all a definite watch! Funny, comedic and if you read it in some ways also a picture of a torn society: The US. A must, not only for 80s and goth fans but also for everyone who is interested in good movies! Watch the trailer below!
