Elvira is retiring !

Yes, you heard right....The Mistress Of The Dark has announced that tonight`s Halloween show at Knott`s Scary Farm will be her final performance, and she will be hanging up her tassels after nearly three decades in the biz.

While we're at it, let's give a shout-out to Zacherley, who did a similar shtick in Philly and New York for years. He died almost exactly a year ago, at age 98!

Cheers,
Larry B.

Pity. She was great, as was Zacherley, who I grew up with here in the NYC metro area.

But, all is not lost This here seems to be a direct descendant of these two greats

I laughed so hard when at the end of her movie out came the tassles. She sure could work them!

She has to be a bit long in the tooth by now!

Sixty-six...or maybe a hundred and sixty six???????????

Cheers,

Rich has been on/off air for quite sometime. He would read birthday's over the air if you sent him a letter. He read mine.

Loved him on Shock Theater when I was a kid, and loved his record "Dinner with Drac".

Fixed your post....

She was always fun to watch and I dug her movie. The scene where she's walking with her co star through a door and she bangs her head is classic.
CO STAR : How's your head?
ELVIRA : I've never had any complaints.

I remember watching her show on KHJ Channel 9 back when she first started.

Here's a picture of the old hag in 2016.

She had the best of two worlds. Fame and a money making career but not very recognizable on the street.

 

[Mr.Jim]

I thought she was dead

 

[VinylHanger]

Ya know, 66 don't seem that old anymore.

The teeth don't appear to be long.

 

[sfox52]

^ yeah, my poor attempt at humor. I thought she did the vampire teeth thing.

Reminds me of the show girls in Vegas.

You'd never know them on the street.
