A new horror-comedy that lovingly spoofs the eerie Roger Corman films of the early 60s, such as THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER and THE HAUNTED PALACE. [More]

Reviews for Elvira's Haunted Hills
A sloppy slapstick throwback to long gone bottom-of-the-bill fare like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
While Peterson and her ageless alter ego keep an ironic detachment from the melodramatics, there’s no irony in the end-title dedication to Price -- it obviously comes straight from the heart.
The campy results make Mel Brooks' Borscht Belt schtick look sophisticated.
This horror-comedy doesn't go for the usual obvious laughs at the expense of cheap-looking monsters -- unless you count Elvira's hooters.
"Plague. Schmague. I have a show to do in Paris." If that makes you chuckle, Elvira is for you.
