Starring Cassandra Peterson as her tradmark character, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the film finds the well-endowed goth gal spending the night in a mysterious house while en route to Paris, France, circa 1851. Once there, the spooky gags fly as the movie lampoons everything from the work of Roger Corman to the Hammer films. Along with Peterson, the film also stars Richard O'Brien, Mary Scheer, Scott Atkinson, and Heather Hopper. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
A sloppy slapstick throwback to long gone bottom-of-the-bill fare like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
More entertaining than much of the big-studio schlock out there.
-
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times
The campy results make Mel Brooks' Borscht Belt schtick look sophisticated.
-
Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
[Star] Cassandra Peterson hasn't lost her wit, edge or... ahem--assets...
-
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Elvira fans could hardly ask for more.
