thumb|My name's Elvira, but you can call me 'tonight'. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is a 1988 comedy horror film about a television horror hostess who inherits an old New England mansion, a poodle, and a black-magic cookbook. Written by Cassandra Peterson, John Paragon and Sam Egan, directed by James Signorelli. Here comes Elvira…there goes the neighbourhood! (taglines) Elvira [to Bob] My name's Elvira, but you can call me 'tonight'. I didn't know I had a good aunt, let alone a great one. Dialogue Chastity Pariah: Listen, young lady. I don't know who you are or where you came from, but you certainly don't fit in this town. Why, you don't even fit in that dress. Elvira: Listen, sister. If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you. Bob Redding: I, ah…I can only play G-rated movies. Elvira: Oh well, there's nothing wrong with G-rated movies, as long as there's lots of sex and violence. 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. Patty: Seems to me it's all this cheap little tart's fault. Elvira: Cheap? Who are you callin' cheap? What's that perfume you're wearing, Catch of the Day? Patty: Look, honey. I don't know which hole you crawl out of, but I suggest you crawl right back in it, if you know what's good for you. Vincent Talbot: I must apologise for my behaviour in the office, it's just that your appearance was a bit of a shock to me. Elvira: It's okay. My appearance is kind of a shock to everybody. Lesley Meeker: We do have a room. Remember the trucker with the bad skin checked out yesterday? Elvira: I hope you changed the sheets. Elvira: [ringing the motel bell] I hate to interrupt this little episode of the Waltons. But can I have room? Mrs. Meeker: Okay, but it's cash up front. I know what you pinko heavy metal weirdos do to motel rooms. I read all about it in the Star. Taglines Unpleasant dreams... Elvira busts out in her outrageously funny feature film debut!
