"Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" came out on September 30, 1988.

In real life, Cassandra Peterson began her career as a Las Vegas showgirl, just like her character pursues.

An unknown Brad Pitt auditioned for one of the teenage boy roles, but Cassandra Peterson thought he was too good looking.

Elvira's dress is cut in a specific way and her hair is long in the back to hide burn scars from an accident in her youth.

This movie was nominated for Worst Picture at the Hastings Bad Cinema Society's 11th Stinkers Bad Movie Awards.

But these GIFs prove this is a compelling and entertaining movie.

Proof ^^^

Elvira speaks for us all!

Go watch it!
