The film "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark" is released, starring Cassandra Peterson as Elvira, combining comedy, horror, and camp aesthetics.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
