It was more than a year ago that
Bob told you about a reality show that Elvira, a.k.a. "Mistress of the Dark", would be starring in. Fox just
gave it the green light and ordered 13 episodes, to begin airing on October 13th, with the live finale on Halloween night.
The idea behind this series is that the real Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) is searching for a double-- someone who can make public appearances and represent her. She's still in pretty high demand, with her manager claiming that she gets requests for "hundreds" of public appearances each year. Good for her, I say, for successfully sustaining the same character since the 1980s.
All Elvira wanna-bes can audition for the show on July 13th at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.

It was just a matter of time before we saw this show on DVD. With the success of shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 on DVD, we knew that Elvira's show would make it to stores too.
Shout Factory will release 6 movies from Elvira's late night cult hit TV show Movie Macabre on September 19th. You can buy the movies in either single disc sets or double disc sets. Here's a list of the movies:
Doomsday Machine
Werewolf of Washington
Frankenstein's Castle Freaks
Count Dracula's Great Love
Legacy of Blood
Devil's Wedding Night
The single discs will be only $9.98, and the double discs only $14.98!
