![]() At LemonAmiga, the score is 8.27 from 84 votes, which is not too far from the Top 100. It wasn't really until very recently, that survival horror games began to be more horrific than Elvira's adventures.Įven now, the game has rather nice ratings at our favourite haunts. While there's trouble in every paradise, Elvira's problems were overshadowed by the utter brilliance of the game's horror elements. Perhaps it was mostly thanks to this, that the game became more of a cult hit outside of the USA than the Movie Macabre series or even the movies were. The game, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, was only loosely based on the movie, as I learned only long after I had first played the game. Worry not, though - even though I've taken enough time to work on this, this entry isn't super-lengthy. Now, enough of advertising, let's get to the actual meat of the matter. Anyhow, Elvira, the brand, is still very much alive, which you can see clearly from visiting her website. Interestingly, Elvira was originally considered to be the voice for the ending speech in Michael Jackson's song "Thriller" (written by Rod Temperton), before Vincent Price was chosen. To most of us non-Americans, Cassandra Peterson's career was mostly visible due to Elvira, and she did make a career out of the character, encompassing two feature films, the original Movie Macabre and two reboots of the show (the other one was called 13 Nights of Elvira), a good deal of special cameo appearances in various other TV shows and movies, and she even recorded several songs for Elvira's Halloween music compilation albums. The final Halloween-themed comparison article for FRGCB is dedicated to everyone's favourite - and only - mixture of cleavage and gory horror adventuring based on a horror/comedy movie based on the weekly KHJ-TV horror movie presentation show, Elvira's Movie Macabre.
