Elvira Mistress of the Dark


Hi

I have no idea why this woman haunts me so. There isn't a box I open or 
games batch that I look through, cassette games I scan and old magazines 
I don't wade through without coming across this womans face. Must have 
been something about that era. Anyway I kinda gave in to my urges and 
bought Elvira Mistress of the Dark on good old VHS tape no less a full 
length film. Failing all else I may be able to grab a few edits on the 
A1200 as a screen saver.

I don't anticipate much, so no spoilers. But maybe this leads me to 
somewhere and something else of interest. No idea.

Meet Elvira , the notorious American cult heroine. The wisecracking vamp 
wishes to open her own show in Las Vegas but needs $50000. Suddenly her 
great aunt Maud dies and leaves her a dilapidated house.. blah blah. I 
have no idea.

Bugga.. suitable only for persons over 15 years ... oh real age, not 
mental. That was close.  Whoo look Close Encounters is out on VHS . 
Amazing how quick these films get from the big screen to the small. AND 
Men in Black ... Must get that. Reading the inside of the video sleeve. 
You don't get this kinda thing with your digital download. I bet you 
also don't get the nasty horizontal lines and maybe the wrong film. That 
would be funny... someone taping their wedding over a film. Kinda 
happens. Not often.

Dunno whether many of you know of the infamous Derek and Clive, well 
Peter C and Dudley M put together this rather pleasant long playing 
record. Story goes that a disgruntled young sales person in a famous 
high class record store deliberately moved all of the Derek and Clive 
records into the sleeves of the gentle and meek latest album by Cliff 
Richard. Suffice to say he managed to offend a rather significant woman 
who took action and won. Good on ya Derek and Clive.
