Not seen it?
I grew up with this one on rental VHS

[Blu MacReady]

Same here, parted with almost £40 for a German release that ended up being a con, got money back straightaway tho. That gets me a better Elvira and Waterworld ltd edition. Things work out for a reason

Have the dvd but tbh never watched it since vhs days. Looking forward to a couple of things in glorious HD.
Tassels anyone?

Just bought 2 copies of this on VHS but gotta get this too

[david7simon]

I already pre-ordered directly from Arrow Video for £18.99. A bit of an ouch, converted to dollars (just under $28 w/shipping); but it's one of my favorites. I couldn't resist.

Pre-ordered tonight!

Product Description
She s back! Elvira, Horrorland s hostess with the mostest, finally busts out on Blu-ray with this long-awaited, positively-bursting-at-the-seams special edition of her big screen debut, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark!

Having just quit her job as a Los Angeles TV horror hostess, Elvira receives the unexpected news that she s set to inherit part of her great-aunt Morgana s estate. Arriving in the small town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to claim her inheritance, Elvira receives a less than enthusiastic reception from the conservative locals - amongst them, her sinister uncle Vinny, who unbeknownst to Elvira, is an evil warlock who secretly schemes to lay his hands on the old family spellbook for his own nefarious ends...

Campy, quirky and stuffed to the brim with more double entendres than your average Carry On movie, 1988 s Elvira: Mistress of the Dark helped solidify the horror hostess (played by Cassandra Peterson) as a major pop culture icon, here owning every inch of the screen with her quick wit, sass, and of course, cleaving-enhancing gown!

I'm really glad this is finally coming but was hoping Arrow would do something a bit more special with it considering its cult status. Also...please tell me that cover is reversible and there is some OG art there.

Thanks for the tip, I've cancelled with Amazon and pre-ordered this with the new Escape from New York Blu-ray.

Haha, cannot unsee that now

[DYates]

With this and the John Carpenter releases my Christmas is gonna be lazy... and 1980s in theme.

[david7simon]

I must admit, the new artwork sucks. And good timing, Amazon. You drop the pre-order price ten pounds shortly after I place an order with Arrow Video. Aaarrrgghhh! I get punished for rushing.

[Jawaburger]

I will pre-order, but I am hoping for a North American release!
