Trivia
Cassandra Peterson was having difficulty finding someone to direct her movie until Sam Irvin walked in the door. After telling him that the movie would spoof the 1960s Edgar Allan Poe movies, Irvin launched into Vincent Price's monologue from The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) and Peterson immediately knew she had found her man.

Goofs
After Elvira falls off the staircase, the red sock on her head is in her lap a moment later.

Quotes

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark: You mean, like, "Whip me, baby, whip me?"
Lord Vladimere Hellsubus: In a nutshell, yes.
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark: Ouch.

Must have for Elvira devotees

Well, I must admit I was eagerly anticipating this release. I was especially psyched to see Richard O Brien making an appearance as Lord Hellsubus.

I thought that the first movie surpassed Haunted Hills, however, the more I watch Haunted Hills, the more it grows on me. I was so happy to see that Elvira is as beautiful as ever---truly an icon. I really like noticing more and more Poe references each time I watch-- Ligeia (Elvira/Elura), Morella (buried alive), House of Usher (castle's demise), the Black Cat/Cask of Amontillado (being walled up), and of course, the Pit and the Pendulum. I really loved the musical number "Life Is a Music Hall" (and i thought Elvira sang better in this one than in "Here I am").

Oh...and I recommend buying this movie...Cassandra Peterson financed much of it herself!!!

Elvira's still got it!
