I remember seeing a poster of this when I was 11 in the video store and being transfixed. My dad playfully nudged me, saying "snap out out of it, son".

She went to my high school in Colorado Springs. Sounds weird to even say it
My brother and I went looking for walruses in Oregon one time and we ended up at the rogue brewery restaurant in Newport. As we walked in, the only black dude in the place was loudly singing karaoke of the Elvira country song. He was making everyone laugh by inserting rude comments between the lyrics or instead of. It was memorable. So now, whenever I see a picture of Elvira I think of that guy thundering "ELVIRA you fat tiddied bitch"
she's on fedi btw
Hasn't posted in three years, but there's definitely an account
I might have been a child of 4 or 5 and was transfixed by I think a Halloween beer ad with her on it. Loved her ever since. She was the Goth Yang to Dolly Parton's blonde Yin.
Met her once at an event for a film she was in for literally 2 seconds. Absurdly nice and kind. Energy that lit up any sunny room. 10/10 human.

Thanks!

TIL, I just posted it for the boobs.
100% of my awareness of her is from the simpsons.
An underrated comedian, she had the "snarky horror movie host" shtick down cold, and turned it into a brand. And you've got to respect her sheer staying power in a business that chews people up as they age.
Meka leka hi meka hiney ho
Oh yeah, they were both in the Groundlings.
For far too long I took her act at face value and always assumed she was just an airhead with large breasts. Turns out she is pretty fuckin awesome:
She shaped my taste in women as a young boy.
she shaped my taste in women as a young girl!
She shaped my taste in women as a young cannibal.

She was the theme of 3 different pinball machines produced over the years and all of them are sought after by collectors. They are really fun games with great art and theme integration. Scared Stiff is probably my favorite of the 3 (the other 2 being Elvira and the Party Monsters and Elvira's House of Horrors)
Pinball aside, as another commenter in the thread stated: she kinda influenced my taste in women, as well 😅

Man not only is she awesome, she also has a kick-ass pinball game.
She's had three pinball games, but i have to agree with you, Scared Stiff was pretty kick-ass, Party Monsters was good, and House of Horrors was okay, but Scared Stiff had some great shots, fun challenges, and while Party Monsters played it pretty safe, Scared Stiff really leaned into what Elvira does best...innuendo. It's still a fucking awesome game, and if anyone wants to check it out, it's available in Pinball FX on Steam.
I loved Elvira and the Party Monsters. I didn’t even know about the others thanks for sending down a rabbit hole.
You're welcome.

Look up Cassandra Peterson, the actress that plays Elvira. So beautiful
She's also a leftie like most of us here. I remember her making headlines a little while back because she got rid of her Tesla when Muskrat did something stupid or other.
