i finally got around to watching elvira: mistress of the dark!
to sum it up, i had a lot of fun, and was genuinely saddened when it was over. i didnt do much research ahead of time on the movie, just kinda jumping in blind, but i realized quickly that it was a comedy. and it was a fun one! the town is quite funny in their judgements of elvira, like their criticisms of her are so over the top and cartoonishly evil, it kinda reminds me of how people in real life react to goth people. its just. very silly. i also like the foreshadowing, like the shot of her ring at the beginning glinting in the light, said ring becoming important later in the film.
i think the sprinkles of inspiration from goth culture are definitely there, particularly in the sounds of the music (when it isnt licensed).
...also, this immediately reminded me of siousxie and the banshees.
idk are you seeing it .
anyways, in conclusion, i had fun, it made me happy, and this would be a movie i see myself watching a second time, fo sho!
i hope the sequel is just as good. hardy har
