 Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

Better known as “The Movie About Elvira's Boobs”

     This cheeky little movie features Cassandra Peterson hopping into the only roll anyone remembers her playing, Elvira's Boobs. Mostly because her boobs are huge and very prominent. Elvira and her twins invade a small town in the north east after her great aunt dies. Her great aunt, some sort of witch, leaves her a house, a dog, and one stupid cookbook. Later it's revealed that this cookbook is actually a spell book and Elvira the next in line of witches. Hi-jinx ensue and pretty soon, Elvira finds herself on a steak about to be burnt...in 1988. Yeah, so the realism is a bit lacking, but hell, this is the late '80s! Just roll with it. Demons vanquished, order restored, and we get a really cheesy dance number right before the credits. Try to visualize Elvira doing Madonna's Material Girl but with pasties and tassels.

Exhibit A: Boobarella

Exhibit B: Giant Boob Lady

 











Anyway, great cheese movie from the late '80s that I missed but have now seen. Now I feel complete.

One more before the home stretch, and it includes superfluous heads!

I lied about there only being one zombie movie on my list..

Fido

     This is a little kiche movie set in the late 50's after a zombie outbreak. Eventually, the zombies are contained and become controled servants with collars around their necks. A a suburban family finally recieves their first zombie servant, and the son quickly becomes friends with it. Then it becomes a little odd and maybe creepy. Fido, our zombie hero played by Billy Connolly of all people, is showing slight signs of compassion by not eating the son. On top of that, he's starting to show compassion towards his mother, a very disappointed housewife played by Carrie Anne Moss. At first, I thought her character was so Stepford-esq, she was unwatchable. She does move past this later in the movie, but she's still stiff as hell. While not an overly complicated plot, I don't' have the energy (jet lag, maybe) to go into detail. It's really just a mediocre movie with some funny points, but I felt like they wasted Billy Connolly who tends to be a more of a vocal comedian. It wasn't a hard to watch movie, but it wasn't amazing. Best left for a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Kiss me, I'm Scottish.

Friday: Awwwww Yeaaaaaaaah. Boobarella!
