What do you think is the funniest scene?


I go for the picnic scene...Elvira makes a dish she thinks will attack people, but instead seems to make everyone act wild with hysterical consequences.

When Elvira does her speech to win the kids over so they come to her show.

I use a lot of lines from this film.

-How she bounces on the bed when sitting down on it, "Good thing I wont be here long--the neighbors would NEVER get any sleep!"

-When during her show when she (the double) flips back and she shakes her ass and rubs her hands on it....LMAO

-How she always peels off at the beginning when she's driving her car

-"Well, here's to my BIG opening!!!"

-DING DING DING DING...."I hate to interrupt this little episode of the waltons, but could I get a room?"

-"Gee I...think I can handle it!"

-How she so ridiculously dramatically fake cries and then as soon as they say they'll go she plays it off--that's something I would do lol...

-"The gal with the enormous...uh, ratings"

-"It's the head with two things---I mean the thing with two heads.."

The way she rolls her eyes when she says these things just amplifies it....

her eating chips in the kitchen reading the spell book and saying "boy my aunt sure had lousy penmanship" i dont know why but her face and they way she says it makes me bust out laughing

you have to ask yourself are you a fighter, or are you zombie food

I love those little random bits that only crack you up and everyone else like "umm...ok?" Lol...like an inside joke between me and the movie :)

When you're 17 a cow can seem dangerous and forbidden...am I alone here?

"Here's to my BIG opening!"
Changing the sign to "correctly" spell matinee, then trips on the ladder and it reads "how to f^&k" lol
"Remind you of anything? Remind YOU of anything?" (the hot dog and taco scene at the picnic)
When the mayor sits on the guy's face at the picnic, "excuse me? Is this seat taken?"
The people overhearing Elvria tell Uncle Vinny "Yeah I'll do it for 50 bucks!!!" in his car window. LMAO

"Everyone's entitled to one good scare."

reply

Yeah I like the innocent movie theater sign when the held the final "E" in "Matinee" making it look like an "F" trips into the sign making the "UCK" look like well you know "How To *beep* and Chasity Periah sees it, gasps and faints.

The whole scene in the kitchen when she's cooking (excuse the misspellings):

"Androga Cazzerule. Oh, casserole!"

"One fellegra. Ooo! I think the fallegra went bad. No. Says it's good until next year."

"It smells good. But it looks like cockadoody."

"The answers to all of life's riddles can be found in the movies."

This movie is chock full of great oneliners. The one line that I am thinking of right now is when they're taking Elvira to the stake to be burned, and she goes "Oh, you wouldn't believe it, but I left the oven on!"

😄 I love Elvria: Mistress of the Dark. I watched it again quite recently and have seen many times. Yes, the film is full of great oneliners and comebacks:

Elvira: Referring to Patty's large bosom. Careful where you point those things, you're likely to put someone's eye out.


Elvira: Bloody Mary.

Bartender: No hard liquor served past eight o'clock. Do you want a virgin?

Elvira: Maybe, but, ah... I'll have a couple of drinks first.


Chastity Pariah: Well, I never.

Elvira: Yeah, and you never will with those soup cans on your head.


Don't eat the whole ones! Those are for the guests. 🍪

reply

"Bye, kids! It's been swell!"

I love the Vegas scene and song.
Also the part in front of the movie theatre, when she's changing the letter E.
The whole movie has so many excellent quotes that I use to this day.

Say what now?

Bob: Well, I don’t wanna bore you with local politics.
Elvira: Go ahead. BORE me.

Just grab a tool and start bangin’!
