Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
Arriving in the small town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to claim her inheritance, horror hostess Elvira receives a less than enthusiastic reception from the conservative locals, including her sinister uncle Vincent.
Critics Sentiment
Elvira performs elaborate tassel twirling musical number in Las Vegas
Patty successfully humiliates Elvira at the horror film festival
The film jumps from its lowest point during Patty's humiliation of Elvira to the highly praised aphrodisiac picnic sequence, gaining 2.4 points.
Critics found Elvira: Mistress of the Dark to be an entertaining vehicle for Cassandra Peterson's charismatic performance, with the fish-out-of-water comedy between gothic Elvira and conservative townspeople providing the strongest material. While some middle sections dragged and the humor could be hit-or-miss, the film's self-aware campiness and memorable set pieces like the aphrodisiac picnic and Vegas finale won over most reviewers. The consensus was that it succeeded as lighthearted, nostalgic entertainment that knew exactly what it was trying to be.
