1. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
Year released: 1988
6-word synopsis: Elvira inherits mysterious small town mansion.
Notable actors: Elvira, the guy from Grease who isn’t John Travolta, Edie McClurg (from lots of stuff including The Hogan Family)
Quotable: “How’s your head?” Elvira: “I haven’t had any complaints yet.”
Rewind moment: floorboard to the nuts. Demon nuts.
Observations: I loved Elvira as a kid for reasons I didn’t fully understand. This mostly holds up to a tongue in cheek B-movie vibe but goes legit horror towards the end.
