On Saturday July 24, 2010 a press junket was held to officially announce that Elvira Mistress of the Dark Returns will be busting out on the boob tube with revamped ELVIRA’S MOVIE MACABRE  (tentative title) which will premiere on THIS! Television and in national syndication throughout the U.S. set to air on September 25 and make sure to check local listings for station, day, time and all that other stuff. The show will be a weekly two-hour movie block and is distributed by Trifecta Entertainment & Media, and will air on television stations representing more than 80% of U.S. households.

When asked how she felt about the Twilight movies, Elvira tried really hard to be diplomatic and after being egged on by Ted, she broke and said “I hate the Twilight movies!”  I prefer my vamps non sparkling as well.

When asked how she keeps looking so young “Virgins blood, but it’s getting harder to find and exorcising daily”

Elvira was asked if any favorites made it on the show and they are The Killer Shrews, Manos, The Hands of Fate, Teenagers From Outer Space and Werewolf of Washington.

Hank Cohen, CEO/Partner of Trifecta Entertainment & Media, told us that over 500 films were considered before the final choices were made. “Elvira knows these movies backwards and forwards.”

Two movies that she would like to get the rights for are Plan 9 From Outer Space and House on Haunted Hill.

A real issue was finding the public-domain flicks in good or complete condition, because these movies when made on the cheap so the crappy negatives abound. The films to be featured on the show are remastered. “I’m going to be in HD of course,” she said. As for screening 3D movies, Elvira grinned and replied, “I only have 2Ds right now.”

Elvira is totally jazzed about the “spooky and cool” music for the new show, composed by White Stripes musician Jack While. “We’re going to make a day-glow vinyl of it,” Elvira said. Vinyl is awesome so this is SWEET!

Speaking of groovy tunes for your crypt, Elvira also has a iTunes album titled Elvira’s Gravest Hits featuring 13 tracks of course!

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/elviras-gravest-hits/id380065081

When asked about Lady Gaga and other pop stars “stay out of the front of the Macabre Mobile” and will call herself “Lady Tatas.”

Elvira’s Movie Macabre is a 34D Production written and produced by Cassandra Peterson and Ted Biaselli. The series’ Executive Producer is Anita First. The format of the show will be very similar to her previous one. Elvira will have 8 lead ins and will also pop up on screen for commentary as well. “And I have the same old damn couch,” Elvira said.

Elvira’s  Movie Macabre TV series picks are:

Night of the Living Dead, The Terror, The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, Giant Gila Monster, Scared to Death, Werewolf of Washington, Eegah!, Untamed Women, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Satanic Rights of Dracula, I Eat Your Skin, Don’t Look in the Basement, Teenagers From Outer Space, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter, Lady Frankenstein, Manster, Wild Women of Wongo, A Bucket of Blood, Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric, Tormented, The Wasp Woman, Beast From the Haunted Cave, The Killer Shrews, Monsters From a Prehistoric Planet, Attack of the Giant Leeches and Manos, The Hands of Fate.
