Movie

Elvira's Haunted Hills

2002 · 90 min

A silly, affectionate spoof of gothic horror that coasts on double entendres, cheap sets and a gleefully hammy host.

Tagline: Evil. Terror. Lust.
Overview: The setting is Carpathia. The year is 1851. When Elvira gets kicked out of an Inn for a slight monetary discrepancy, she is rescued by a local who takes her to stay at the castle in the hills high above the village. The fact that she happens to resemble the count's former "missing" wife opens a can of worms or two.
