Summary: Finally on DVD ! Do not miss it !
Review: This is what movie is about. Having a good time! If you don't want to bothered by complicated plot but plain good time, this DVD is highly recommended. It is funny and sexy and decent acting as well. Obviously the main attraction of this movie is the lovely Cassandra Peterson, and you won't be disappointed to see her in this excellent movie. The DVD transfer is great. The sound is ok. Now Anchor Bay please release Allan Quatermain and the lost city of gold, you know Richard Chambelain and Sharon Stone bad Indiana Jones imitation which also featured Cassandra Peterson. I hope to see many more fun B movies appear on DVD.

Review: Finally 13 years after it's original release we are lucky enough to enjoy this hilarious film on DVD. I have had this disc for about 2 weeks now (due to the fact I have close friends @ Fine Line) and I watch it religiously. The quality of the film is unsurpassed and Elvira gave us a peek at what it takes to endure fame for this many years...The DVD offers excellent features aside from the Cassandra bio...there are hidden treasures that you must click on to enjoy...I know many people will simply watch the film but never discover these features...Explore!

Summary: A little perspective please!
Review: Ok, Leonard Maltin, Trust me, I get, it, I UNDERSTAND why you didn't like this movie, however once in a while it would do these critics good to remember that when we go to watch and Elvira Movie, we aren't EXPECTING A Streetcar Named Desire or any other classic film. We ARE expecting a movie starring Elvira and her cheesy humor along with those sappy one liners that make you guiltily laugh out loud. "A good one in this movie has to do with a failed movie's ""Big Opening"" So on a scale of classic movies for all time I give this movie a low score, however if you liked the Old Mistress of the Dark TV show and feel like killing 2 hours watching a goofy movie, I give this one a definet thumbs up.

Summary: Great Mindless Fun
Review: Don't listen to 'Old Man Maltin'. ELVIRA-Mistress of the Dark is a campy delight with it's tongue implanted firmly in cheek. Sure, Cassandra Peterson makes fun of her bust, but why fight the obvious? The staunchy small town citizens are equally hilarious with Edie McClurg and the woman that owns the motel (Shutup Lester!). Complete with a nasty arch-rival, and teenagers this is like a sexy Scooby-Doo movie, but unlike Scooby-Doo, this is good.

Summary: very funny
Review: I enjoyed this movie very much. It's mostly harmless humor that is simple and fun. Cassandra Peterson as Elvira is a real likable silly charactor that will bring a smile to your face. And if you like sight gags, this has a few really laugh-out-loud or groaners whichever you prefer.

Summary: Elvira Will Make You Scream
Review: Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is an eighties comic masterpiece. Filled with one liners and inuendo from hell, it made me laugh until I howled! Casandra Peterson plays Elvira, a late night TV horror host who dreams of starring in her own show in Las Vegas. Her dreams appear to come true when she is told that she is to inherit part of her Great Aunt's will. She goes to the small town where her aunt lived to hear the reading and all hell breaks loose. Funny in a "Wayne's World" style, it should appeal to those who don't take comedy too seriously.

Summary: Yes...actually there is feminism in this film
Review: Sure, the plot heavily relies on raunch and horror and at times comes across like The Addams Family meets Melrose Place, but Elvira emerges as an unlikely heroine for women in this film. While much of her success has been written as stemming from her physical endowments, and this film also highlights them, it also focuses on her resourcefullness and her willingness to stand up for what she honestly believes in. Passivity is not in her genes either as she displays her (admirable) attitude when faced with judgemental and bigoted people or defends herself against lecherous men who can't keep their hands to themselves. There is no way she is going to let the town bigots rain on her parade and she is going to do her own thing regardless of whatever they want. Elvira even makes it a point to stand up for the rights of the repressed kids in the town and takes the granddaughter of a motel owner under her wing. Finally, the link to her mother Davana and voice urging her to "use the power" to free herself from danger speaks of women's history, however jumbled. Elvira is really one link in a long string of the original powerful and independent woman--the witch!! Sure, it's not the most realistic plot in the world, but Ms. Peterson's alter ego is a liberated woman who does not take garbage from any other character in the film and makes it clear that she is not subservient to men.

Summary: Honestly, the main reason to watch this is how hot Elvira is
Review: Yes, the main reason anyone watches this for the first time at least is because Elvira is in the top 3 sexiest women in history. Some people only come back for that reason. Some people don't think that's a good enough reason to come back. But in my humble opinion, it really is an alright movie. In a way, even though its just a corny comedy, if you really think about it, Elvira is just like Tyler Durden from Fight Club. His main objective in life was to free people from the 9 o 5 lives they hated but supposedly "had to" live out. Elvira doesn't come to this hokey religious town to free them, but she ends up doing it. Also she battles evil. And in the end she lives out what her main objective IS: to perform in Vegas. Sexy Sexy. Well, i've probably bored you enough, and you don't wanna read, you wanna stare at Elvira's chest. So stop reading and get this movie!
