Late night TV host Elvira (
Cassandra Peterson) quits her job and travels to a sexually-repressed town in Massachusetts that's like a late 1960s sitcom. Whist there the leggy host offends 90% of the locals with her outspoken views and her outstanding cleavage. But while the anti-fun brigade (i.e. the town council) is fuming, the youth of the backwards town are on her side.
It's a cult film with tame innuendo (mostly tit-jokes) and intentionally bad wisecracks that'll either make sense to your inner teenager or have you scratching yourself while periodically checking your watch.

Nice to see you join the party. I was saving this for a little later on this month, but if I recall correctly, I liked it about as much as you did.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do, avoid "Elvira's Haunted Hills." It was about half what this movie was.
I didn't know you had planned to tackle it. Sorry. I've not seen the second one. I read it parodies the Roger Corman Poe films? That kind of appealed to me. I loved those films.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I'm still going to check it out and see how well it holds up. I've got plenty of other movies on my list, and I wasn't planning on reviewing all of them anyway (sometimes the words just don't come to me), so you did me a favor.
