The bawdy, big-boobed babe with a beehive from Beezlebub is baaaaack!

Actually, she had Snooki's Poof well before the Snookster was even born.
The world's most outrageous and completely original movie hostess is making her long-anticipated return to weekly television this fall, when Elvira's Movie Macabre (WT)premieres on THIS! Television and in national syndication throughout the U.S. the weekend of September 25 (see local listings for station/day/time).
The weekly two-hour movie block is distributed by Trifecta Entertainment & Media, and will air on television stations representing more than 80% of U.S. households.
When asked about her return to weekly television, Elvira said "All I can say is, IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!"
"Elvira will be every bit as relevant as the first day she burst onto the scene; a beautiful opinionated woman who always delivers just what her audience expects from her," said Hank Cohen, CEO/Partner, Trifecta Entertainment.
"At Trifecta, we take pride in bringing proven and trusted brands to the syndicated marketplace; Elvira is a time-tested and wildly successful brand unto herself and her new show perfectly exemplifies our strategy."
Who would have imagined back in 1981 that the hostess of a local Hollywood horror movie show would grow to become a household name? Elvira was the first horror host ever to be syndicated nationally, and the Mistress of the Dark has remained one of the most original and outrageous characters in popular culture today.
This fall, she returns to national syndication with 26 horror movies, accompanied by her one-of-a-kind commentary. B-movie actors and directors beware, because nothing escapes the keen eye and sharp tongue of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Elvira is played by actress-writer Cassandra Peterson.
