Show Notes

To finish off the last episode of ELVIRATOBER where we work through her 40th Anniversary Special (found on Shudder) and her new memoir "Yours Cruelly," we are doing a deep-dive into the 1973 flick "Messiah of Evil." It is considered a "Lovecraftian Giallo horror" so I will talk about what that means & give a breakdown of the movie (yes, there are spoilers!).

I also will talk about Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson's adventures and misadventures that she wrote about in her memoir from the 1980s on (trigger warning, some sexual assault related content), and how she found love and happiness at 70 years young.

To top off the episode, and celebrate HALLOWEEK, I end with a list of my Top 10 Favorite Halloween Movies - so hang on for that an enjoy!
