#6: ELVIRATOBER Pt. 2 "House on Haunted Hill" (1959) & "Elvira's Haunted Hills" + NYFF Screenings Last Take
Show Notes

This week we look at the 1959 Winston Castle classic horror flick "House on Haunted Hill" - Elvira's first horror movie (which she watched at 8 years old!) and one of the films curated by her for the recently released 40th Anniversary Special, which stars the one and only Vincent Price, and had a major impact on horror cinema to follow.

I also look at Elvira's 2001 feature film "Elvira's Haunted Hills" which did not have the same impact... and discuss what makes a parody film work when it is built on being "bad" and what I would have done to change it.

Lastly, the episode kicks off with some chat around the final NYFF 59 screeners:
"The Lost Daughter" directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal
"DUNE" directed by Denis Villenueve
& "Parallel Mothers" by Pedro Almodovar
