256. Elvira's Haunted Hills directed by Sam Irvin

Movies That Made Us Gay

"Lucky for you I come with my own airbags." We watched "Elvira's Haunted Hills" and she really is going to put someone eye out with those things. We already been knew that in this house we will throw down for "Elvira Mistress of the Dark" - the movie and the person. But does the long awaited sequel hold up? It took 13 years to write, finance and produce this homage to the Roger Corman produced, Vincent Price starring, Edgar Allan Poe movies of the 1960's and you can feel the inspiration all over the place. The spooky sets, the baroque (by way of the swinging '60s) costumes and of course Elvira herself, all give this movie the authenticity of those camp classics. Written by Cassandra Peterson and her longtime writing partner John Paragon (Jambi the Genie himself) the script is full of campy one liners, bawdy jokes and cheap visual gags - you know... classic Elvira. We may go Hard for the original movie, but this one really grows on you... kinda like a fungus - and that's why we love it! We've logged it 4 times on Letterboxd this year and it keeps getting funnier, EVERY SINGLE TIME WE SEE IT!
