Episode 62: SPOOKY CANON MONTH #4 (ELVIRA: MISTRESS OF THE DARK, 1988)

"Until then, this is Elvira saying UNPLEASANT DREAMS." Quinn takes on one of his spooky season favourites ELVIRA: MISTRESS OF THE DARK (1988) alongside Curtis and Simon for the gang's latest horror movie installment. Cassandra Peterson stars as the sassy and subversive Elvira in her feature film debut! The boys chat about what they watched this week, including the (possibly?) final HALLOWEEN ENDS and the extreme gorefest TERRIFIER 2, and their latest additions to the watch list before deep diving into their first memories of Elvira, her punk rock ethos, and why this movie is a Hallowe'en treat. Quinn will return next week for his other spooky season pick: 1985's FRIGHT NIGHT!
