Elvira- Mistress of the Dark

Big breasted horror spoof fan makes magic fun and saucy.

Plot: After being sexually harassed in her breast beholden outfit as hostess with the 'mostess' of a horror tv show, Elvira (Cassandra Peterson), quits and as luck would have it, learns she is heiress to her great aunt Morgana's estate. Said estate includes a dusty old house, a load of dusty books and a white poodle. Never the sentimental sort, Elvira is quick to decide to sell the house and upon learning that her equally old great uncle wants said books, is happy to sell them on too. Elvira gets a little bored in the former witch hunting town her inheritance resides in and decides to spice things up, including Flashdance inspired movie nights and cooking raunchy recipes from the old books. The residents revive their old ways and soon, Elvira is on the run. Thankfully, turns out that her aunt had a flair for the occult and she is able to use a few tricks to save her fuller figure. Turns out her uncle is a nasty piece of work though and her dog (Algonquin) is rather familiar (a familiar-ha, get it).

Highly recommended for fans of horror spoofing and teens with a fan of 'spoofing' themselves.

Budget: $7,500,000

Gross: $5,596,267

Fun Fact: Ms Peterson was nominated for Worst Actress at the 1989 Razzies and appeared in Diamonds are Forever! The official sequel, Elvira's Haunted Hills was released in 2002.
