Dreaming of financing her own show in Las Vegas, Elvira leaves Hollywood in her customized "Macabremoblie" to claim what she thought was an inheritance. However, upon arriving in Fallwell, MA, all she finds is two drooling yokels, an overzealous morality brigade and a creepy great-uncle with more on his mind than long-lost relatives. With her penchant for double entendres and low cut dresses, Elvira scandalizes the town and soon finds herself in danger of being burned at the stake, jeopardizing her chances of ever making it to Vegas.

Reviews for Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
With a solid humor lineage...Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is one of the best comedies of the late 80s.
Goofy, enjoyable, and it might have been better if it didn't try to please everybody.
