All-new discs, all-new season
Elvira returned to the boob tube last October for a new season of Movie Macabre. Some of you folks didn’t get a chance to see her. Well, don’t fret, she’s bringing some episodes DVD.
independent distributor Entertainment One has acquired North American home video and digital rights for the nationally syndicated series ELVIRAâS MOVIE MACABRE, which will arrive in its first two installments of hilariously horrifying âDouble Feature DVDsâ this June. Presented by Elvira: Mistress of the Dark â the worldâs sexiest, most outrageous and original movie hostess â ELVIRAâS MOVIE MACABRE was re-launched on over 120 stations across the country this past fall and was instantly praised as âa dream come true for horror fansâ.
Featuring Elviraâs signature, unflinching, tongue-in-cheek commentary of some of the âgreatestâ B-movies ever to unspool, eOneâs release of all-new ELVIRAâS MOVIE MACABRE âDouble Feature DVDsâ kicks off with the zombie-themed pairing of George Romeroâs Night of the Living Dead with I Eat Your Skin and a double-bill of Hammer Filmâs The Satanic Rites of Dracula with The Werewolf of Washington. Future DVDs will pair such camp classics as The Terror (starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson) with Eegah! and Scared to Death (starring Bela Lugosi) with Manster.
When you hear the name Elvira only one person comes to mind â Halloween icon and quintessential symbol of all things spooky, the one and only Mistress of the Dark. The first horror host ever to be syndicated nationally, Elvira has seen her reign as âQueen of Halloweenâ span an amazing twenty-nine years, highlighted by two feature films, an IMAX film and two motion control rides. She has appeared in national ad campaigns for Pepsi and Coors, recorded five music CDs, published four books and licensed over 400 products, including two Bally pinball machines, BC Rich guitars, three comic book series, Elviraâs âNight Brewâ beer, âEvilâ perfume and a slot machines from IGT.
