Well, in a perfect world there would be a fabulous, rockin’ party here at Bookshelf Battle HQ but instead, I’m passing out candy and watching that 1988 classic, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. For those who weren’t around in the 1980’s, she was pretty much the funniest part of Halloween. Sadly, no one has ever picked up her torch to become the next generation’s Halloween celebrity. That’s ok – perhaps she is just one of a kind and irreplaceable.
What the heck is Elvira anyway? Does anyone have the definite answer? I’m pretty sure she is a witch. I’ve heard theories that she was a vampire but she never really did anything vampire-y.
Her schtick? She would poke fun at the worst monster movies of all time – you know, back in the days when you needed your network to run a movie to watch it and you just didn’t have the ability to get on your computer and literally watch any movie you wanted.
I just checked out her You Tube Channel (she’s still going strong after all these years) and learned that she has had a new series on Hulu this whole Halloween season. Wish I knew about it sooner – maybe I’ll check it out or maybe I’ll wait until next year.
Anyway, here’s her Hulu trailer:
