"Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark" is a sort of "Harper Valley P.T.A." with touches of the supernatural. Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) walks off her job as television horror movie hostess after the new station's owner gets fresh with her. She's now relying on a Las Vegas show to carry her through, but learns she needs to come up with more money to get the show started. Things look hopeless to raise that money until she receives notice of her aunt's death, which then takes Elvira to Massachusetts for the reading of the will. A house in need of repairs, a dog, and a cookbook are all that is left to her by her aunt, and again it seems Elvira is having trouble coming up with the money for the Las Vegas show. The adults of the small and narrow minded town make things worse by making things more difficult for Elvira. Only the local hunk (Daniel Greene), and a group of teenagers will befriend her. Elvira's Uncle "Vinnie" (W. Morgan Sheppard), presses to make a deal with Elvira for the cookbook, but Elvira soon learns of her powerful heritage that includes spellcasting, and a couple very effective casseroles. Elvira no longer wants to sell the cookbook to her uncle, but he is determined to get his hands on it knowing of its power. Elvira then faces being burned at the stake on the town's old charge of witchcraft, and the showdown between her and her uncle. The plot is pretty simple, but the humor and well developed characters keep it moving at a nice pace. "Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark" is full of cute, gross, bawdy, and clever humor carried through by the many sight gags, puns, props, songs, and parodies. The film's touches of the occult make this one of the best horror parodies ever made. It is a well made film with terrific acting by all performers; including Edie McClurg, and Jeff Conaway (of "Grease.") There are also nice special effects. Many people (including myself) wondered if the Elvira character could carry a feature film, and the answer is delightfully, YES!

"Elvira, mörkrets härskarinna" är en sorts "Harper Valley PTA". med beröring av det övernaturliga. Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) lämnar sitt jobb som TV-skräckfilmsvärdinna efter att den nya stationens ägare blivit fräsch med henne. Hon förlitar sig nu på en Las Vegas-show för att bära igenom henne, men lär sig att hon behöver komma på mer pengar för att få igång showen. Saker och ting ser hopplösa ut för att få ihop de pengarna tills hon får besked om sin mosters död, som sedan tar Elvira till Massachusetts för att läsa testamentet. Ett hus i behov av reparationer, en hund, och en kokbok är allt som lämnas till henne av hennes faster, och återigen verkar det som om Elvira har svårt att komma på pengarna till Las Vegas-showen. De vuxna i den lilla och trångsynta staden förvärrar situationen genom att försvåra för Elvira. Endast den lokala hunken (Daniel Greene), och en grupp tonåringar kommer att bli vän med henne. Elviras farbror "Vinnie" (W. Morgan Sheppard), pressar för att göra en deal med Elvira för kokboken, men Elvira får snart reda på sitt kraftfulla arv som inkluderar stavkastning, och ett par mycket effektiva grytor. Elvira vill inte längre sälja kokboken till sin farbror, men han är fast besluten att få tag i den med vetskap om dess makt. Elvira står då inför att brännas på bål på stadens gamla åtal för häxeri, och uppgörelsen mellan henne och hennes farbror. Intrigen är ganska enkel, men humorn och välutvecklade karaktärer håller den i ett bra tempo. "Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark" är full av söta, äckliga, bawdy, och smart humor som genomdrivs av de många syn kängor, ordvitsar, rekvisita, sånger och parodier. Filmens inslag av det ockulta gör detta till en av de bästa skräckparodier som någonsin gjorts. Det är en välgjord film med fantastiskt skådespeleri av alla artister; inklusive Edie McClurg, och Jeff Conaway (av "Grease.") Det finns också fina specialeffekter. Många människor (även jag själv) undrade om Elvira-karaktären kunde bära en långfilm, och svaret är förtjusande, JA! Är den här recensionen positiv eller negativ? ALTERNATIV: - negativ - positiv
