Wissenswertes
Elvira's Macabre Mobile was created for this film. The 1958 T-Bird hardtop was purchased for $2,500 and went through $7,000+ in alterations. The automobile remained in the possession of Cassandra Peterson, who occasionally used it for personal appearances, but she frequently complained that although it looked beautiful, it never worked well. In December 2021, Peterson auctioned off the steering wheel, license plate cover, hood and dashboard ornaments for a total of $19,795.

Patzer
Elvira's signature Thigh high split dress shows she wears Pantyhose. Yet on her first night in her inherited house, she gets undressed and is shown to be wearing suspenders, which would have been obvious with the split in her dress.

Zitate
Bob Redding: How's your head?
Elvira: I haven't had any complaints yet.
Bob Redding: [confused] Excuse me?
Elvira: Oh, uh, I think I'll live.

Alternative Versionen
Along with the television version, many international theatrical and video versions cut out Elvira's magic trick during the Las Vegas musical number.

My favorite movie!

The basic plot: Shlocky horror movie hostess Elvira goes to a small,uptight,puritan town where she encounters an evil uncle, a hunk, some disgruntled teenagers, and some black magic.

The praise:Elvira. She is the smoky, the sexy, campy, the shlocky, the shticky the great one. The entire movie is a send-up of shlock horror, horror, porn,sex,porn,breasts,supernatural movies, show-biz movies, Camp,80's movies, materialism, Vegas, british horror,teen movies,middle-aged horniness, and horror parodies. All with a great soundtrack, a lot of yuks, and the smoky, the best, and better, Elvira. I don't know why I like it all,moreover it being my favorite movie,but who cares!It all ends with a great shlocky, glittering Vegas number! The must-see movie!
