She shaped my taste in women as a young boy.

she shaped my taste in women as a young girl!

She shaped my taste in women as a young cannibal.

She drives me crazy

Cracy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with Elvira. And Elvira makes me crazy.


Oh Oh?

Like no one else?

She drives me crazy?




Sounds like a good thing


This is fine




I think you would’ve had a better shot (age aside) because she’s a lesbian.

She’s in a long term relationship with a woman, but she’s fluid. Everyone is in with a chance





Look up Cassandra Peterson, the actress that plays Elvira. So beautiful

She’s also a leftie like most of us here. I remember her making headlines a little while back because she got rid of her Tesla when Muskrat did something stupid or other.


did something stupid or other.

Yeah like the Nazi salutes. Run of the mill stupid stuff /s





Meka leka hi meka hiney ho

Oh yeah, they were both in the Groundlings.

Whatever you do, please do not post more pics of boobs in this thread.

None





She was the theme of 3 different pinball machines produced over the years and all of them are sought after by collectors. They are really fun games with great art and theme integration. Scared Stiff is probably my favorite of the 3 (the other 2 being Elvira and the Party Monsters and Elvira’s House of Horrors)

Pinball aside, as another commenter in the thread stated: she kinda influenced my taste in women, as well 😅

The innuendo in Scared Stiff is amazing. It’s one of my favorite games.


Are they actually fun to play or popular because nerds + boobs.

Actually very well-designed games, imo! I love Scared Stiff because it has distinctive modes/challenges and particularly for the “wizard mode” where you try to run the “Stiff-o-Meter” to it’s limit. It’s got frogs ("Leapers") that jump when you hit certain targets, it has a spinning spider in the backbox that you occasionally get to spin like a prize wheel to collect various bonuses, and the whole playfield gets used in creative ways to set up the various objectives. The sense of humor is spot-on too. I would add one to my collection if i had the money and space for it…

I don’t think they would be quite as sought-after by collectors if they weren’t genuinely good games. If I’m not mistaken, all 3 titles were designed by Dennis Nordman – a well-known and beloved designer who made some of the classics from the late 80’s into the early 90’s.


They’re really well designed surprisingly!

Remember when things could be good AND have pretty tits on them? Pinball machines, P-51Ds, coeds…

The Elvira Amiga games where pretty good as well

Her show, Movie Macabre, was fun. It’s a format you don’t get on TV anymore; anthology series like that. It’s practically impossible to do on Youtube and it doesn’t really work in a streaming format and linear television is full of nothing but the 24 hour bullshit cycle and advertisements for the shit my dad keeps asking me if he should buy.







Hasn’t posted in three years, but there’s definitely an account



If youre so inclined check out Elvira’s Cookbook From Hell. Its super campy, legitimately hilarious, and the recipes are much better than you’d think! Nothing mind bending, but super charming and well worth the read/cook.


100% of my awareness of her is from the simpsons.


Stone-cold fox. One of the OG Big-Tiddy-Goth-GF’s.

🫡 respect



For far too long I took her act at face value and always assumed she was just an airhead with large breasts. Turns out she is pretty fuckin awesome:

Got any of that… soap?



I might have been a child of 4 or 5 and was transfixed by I think a Halloween beer ad with her on it. Loved her ever since. She was the Goth Yang to Dolly Parton’s blonde Yin.

Met her once at an event for a film she was in for literally 2 seconds. Absurdly nice and kind. Energy that lit up any sunny room. 10/10 human.

Yin*

Thanks!




I remember seeing her in magazines etc and I was so fucking shocked when I heard her speak. Just absolutely didn’t expect her super Cali/hippy speech.

She is still the coolest person ever and She is 100% goals.


Some of the best tiddies in the business


My first introduction, as a twenty-something Tasmanian, to Elvira was when the Amiga game came out in 1990. I also managed to find the movie in a video rental store. I never saw the tv show except in snippets. She’s great!


Best they can do these days is Svengoolie. And he’s a perfectly likeable guy, just not my type.

What about Gwengoolie?

Gwen ross?



Berrrwyyynnn!


Hello, Chicagoan.

I haven’t been this insulted since someone thought I was British.

Does anyone even know about Svengoolie outside of Chicago?

He’s on the MeTV station in Philly.

He got national syndication? Unreal.

Used to be just a local Chicago thing.







An underrated comedian, she had the “snarky horror movie host” shtick down cold, and turned it into a brand. And you’ve got to respect her sheer staying power in a business that chews people up as they age.



Big ‘uns


Needs more soap


My brother and I went looking for walruses in Oregon one time and we ended up at the rogue brewery restaurant in Newport. As we walked in, the only black dude in the place was loudly singing karaoke of the Elvira country song. He was making everyone laugh by inserting rude comments between the lyrics or instead of. It was memorable. So now, whenever I see a picture of Elvira I think of that guy thundering “ELVIRA you fat tiddied bitch”


It’s rumored that the stripper on the cover of Tom Waits’ album Small Change is her before she was Elvira, but neither she nor Tom know for sure.

That seems wild, since her face is clearly visible.

She’s said that it could be her, but she doesn’t remember the 70s.




Man not only is she awesome, she also has a kick-ass pinball game.

She’s had three pinball games, but i have to agree with you, Scared Stiff was pretty kick-ass, Party Monsters was good, and House of Horrors was okay, but Scared Stiff had some great shots, fun challenges, and while Party Monsters played it pretty safe, Scared Stiff really leaned into what Elvira does best…innuendo. It’s still a fucking awesome game, and if anyone wants to check it out, it’s available in Pinball FX on Steam.

I loved Elvira and the Party Monsters. I didn’t even know about the others thanks for sending down a rabbit hole.

You’re welcome.

TIL, I just posted it for the boobs.



She went to my high school in Colorado Springs. Sounds weird to even say it


Elvira! Oom-papa, oom-papa, oom-papa, wow, wow.

My heart’s on Fi-Ruh, Elvira



Talk about someone that helped me in my um formative years.

I wonder how many people have gone up to her and told her without an ounce of shame they discovered themselves to her.

Carrie Fisher had to deal with that, and iirc she wasnt thrilled.

Carrie Fisher knew what she was. I ALSO recall that she owned up to her failings and didn’t bother to censor her inner bitch. Should we all aspire to such emotional transcendence. _

She was a joy to meet at ComicCon. I was there to be morale support for my mother, mostly because she was nervous about meeting her girlhood hero. And, well, she was a hero of mine too.

She was brisk, but warm. Kind of like the wise and worldly wine aunt at the family reunion. She had her dog with her, and he was napping on her lap. She signed my mom’s autograph, and boffed her with a handful of glitter (it was her thing.) She saw me standing there, and asked, “You want some?” “I thought it was only for people who got your autograph.” She laughed and boffed me on the head with a puff of Carrie Fisher glam.

The day she passed away felt like losing a family member. May the Force be with her.





Ahh, Elvira. As a member of the Bar Sinister, Scorpio, and born on Halloween, the Mistress of the Dark is my one true love. And more beautiful than Morticia, the OG not the recent ones.



I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for farting if you catch my drift.

Makes sense, judging by your username you’ve experienced worse.
