Elvira's Movie Macabre was a horror movie show hosted by the spooky and seductive Elvira, played by Cassandra Peterson. The show first aired in 1981 and ran until 1993. The premise of the show was simple - Elvira would introduce and comment on horror movies as they played, interjecting with quips and jokes about the action on screen. The movies themselves were classic horror films, ranging from the cheesy and campy to the genuinely scary.

Elvira herself was the star of the show, and her vampy, gothic persona made her an instant hit with audiences. Her black beehive hair, skin-tight clothing, and dark makeup gave her a striking and unforgettable look that made her stand out from other TV hosts.

The show was filmed on a spooky set that featured cobwebs, gravestones, and other creepy props. Elvira was often accompanied by a cast of "horror helpers" who added to the show's comedic tone. These helpers included Cheech Marin, who played Elvira's sidekick in the early seasons, and John Paragon, who played a character named "Paragon the Pumpkin."

In addition to hosting the movies, Elvira also appeared in skits and vignettes in between commercial breaks. These segments often played off her quirky persona and included everything from parodies of popular movies and TV shows to musical performances.

One of the most memorable aspects of the show was Elvira's sense of humor. She was quick-witted and sarcastic, delivering one-liners and puns that were both hilarious and often eyebrow-raising. Her humor was edgy and risqué, but never mean-spirited or offensive.

The popularity of Elvira's Movie Macabre helped to cement Cassandra Peterson's status as a pop culture icon. Her character has been referenced and parodied in countless TV shows, movies, and other media over the years, and her impact on horror culture is undeniable.

In conclusion, Elvira's Movie Macabre was a beloved horror movie show that featured the iconic character of Elvira, played by Cassandra Peterson. With its mix of classic horror films, cheesy humor, and memorable host, the show quickly became a cult favorite and helped to establish Elvira as a pop culture icon.

Elvira's Movie Macabre is a series that ran for 5 seasons (142 episodes) between September 24, 2010 and on Shout! Factory
