Trivia
Elvira's Macabre Mobile was created for this film. The 1958 T-Bird hardtop was purchased for $2,500 and went through $7,000+ in alterations. The automobile remained in the possession of Cassandra Peterson, who occasionally used it for personal appearances, but she frequently complained that although it looked beautiful, it never worked well. In December 2021, Peterson auctioned off the steering wheel, license plate cover, hood and dashboard ornaments for a total of $19,795.

Errores
Elvira's signature Thigh high split dress shows she wears Pantyhose. Yet on her first night in her inherited house, she gets undressed and is shown to be wearing suspenders, which would have been obvious with the split in her dress.

Citas
Bob Redding: How's your head?

A Classic!!

I highly recommend this movie. The movie is funny, entertaining and well, it's something only Elvira can deliver!!! Edie McClurgh (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) is great as Chastity Pariah. The movie is chock-full of hilarious sexual innuendo (56 boob jokes!) and visual slap-stick gags. Elvira's dream is to perform in Las Vegas, but to do that she needs 50,000$. She heads the the Puritanical town of Falwell to pick up her great aunt Morgana Talbot's inheritance....a measley book. But the book holds the secrets of the magic, plunging Elvira into a battle of metaphysical proportions! I cannot recommend this movie enough!!!! It's corny, it's campy, but that's Elvira.
