Elvira: Mistress of the Dark

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) is a horror comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by James Signorelli. Cassandra Peterson stars as the campy TV horror hostess with the black gown and a one-liner for every occasion.

When Elvira inherits a house from a dead aunt in buttoned-up Fallwell, Massachusetts, the prim locals are appalled. The men gawk, the church ladies fume, and her creepy uncle Vincent wants the property and the old spellbook that comes with it. From there the 1988 cult film turns into a showdown between a trash-glam bombshell and an actual Master of the Dark.

Peterson built the Elvira persona on late-night local television, then carried it to the big screen and made it iconic. The movie runs on her relentless double entendres and total lack of shame, which is exactly the point on a junk-food movie night. Fans of Friday-night creature features and camp will eat it up.
