by | Mar 7, 2017

Hey Horror Fans, looks like we may see more of Elvira than we ever thought, as her best assets burst out in all their glory! I’m of course talking about a all-new HD restoration of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, thats just been announced by Cinespectral Films. The very limited release is a Dual-Format 3 disc collector’s edition, with all new special features and never before seen archive material, and it available to pre order now!

When famed TV horror hostess Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) quits her job after being sexually harassed by the station’s new owner, she forms a plan to start her own show in the heart of Las Vegas. Upon learning that her great aunt Morgana has passed away, Elvira travels to the town of Falwell to claim her inheritance, only to soon find herself stranded in town when her Macabre Mobile’s engine blows up. Once the stuffy locals get an eyeful of the scream queen’s ample assets, all hell busts loose! Will she become Las Vegas’ next big dance sensation or will she get burned alive at the stake?

“Yeah, I’ll do it for fifty bucks.”

The set is retailing at 37,99 and comes in a choice of three cover designs: the original theatrical artwork, the promotional press-kit artwork, and an all-new commissioned retro-inspired piece by German horror director Andreas Marschall.
