Trivia

Cassandra Peterson was having difficulty finding someone to direct her film until Sam Irvin walked in the door. After telling him that the movie would spoof the 1960s Edgar Allan Poe films, Irvin launched into Vincent Price's monologue from Pit and the Pendulum (1961), and Peterson immediately knew she'd found her man.

Goofs

The brightness of the fire in the fireplace changes between shots. When Elvira is coming down the stairs the fire is burning brightly, but when she approaches the fireplace it's just smoldering.

User Reviews

Great fan fun!

I just bought the DVD of Elvira's Haunted Hills today. Elvira's one of my favorite horror hosts (her and Svengoolie). We sure did wait a long time for this movie, and I'm glad to see it finally got made. Some of the sets in this film were really first-rate, and the hokey one-liners can still crack anyone up.

The DVD transfer was very good, both sound & video. There are lots of cool extras on the disc too, including "The Making Of Elvira's Haunted Hills" featurette; Interview with co-star Richard O'Brien and the Original theatrical trailer.

Elvira's Haunted Hills is a lot of fun - you'll enjoy this movie!
