Lovers of camp have reason to rejoice with this film. Yes, Elvira’s back and she’s fabulous! With her voluptuous milky-white cleavage, voluminous black hair and hilarious one-liners, the essence of camp oozes from her pores. Elvira’s Haunted Hills culls its outrageousness from the classic Vincent Price/Edgar Allen Poe/Roger Corman films of the early 60’s along with a little Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fearless Vampire Killers. The tale begins in 1851, Carpathia when Elvira and her maid ZouZou are en route to perform in the Parisian Revue “Yes I Can Can” but inadvertently end up at the sinister Lord Vladimere Hellsubus’ medieval castle. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to Vladimere’s long-dead wife, Elvira learns of the Hellsubus curse and finds her life in danger. What’s a girl to do? Well, break out into song and dance, of course. Continuing our saga, love-torn Vladimere chases our heroine on her high heels around the castle. Will she escape the family curse and the evil Vladimere, and can she keep her hands off the studly stable master long enough to save the day? |
