Almost 30 years after the original series first aired, Elvira’s Movie Macabre is coming back to TV. More specifically, a cable channel you’ve likely never heard of- THIS! Television- although it will be syndicated nationally. The show is set to return the weekend of September 25th. While Cassandra Peterson is pushing 60 she’s still looking great, and as witty as ever. Besides, I’m sure most of you are missing 80s horror hosts! Elvira, Rhonda Shear, and of course the king, Job Bob… poor kids these days don’t have someone to crack cheesy jokes on even cheesier films while dropping film knowledge.
“All I can say is, IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!” Elvira said.
“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,” says 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.”
Elvira’s Movie Macabre is a 34D Production and is written and produced by Cassandra Peterson and Ted Biaselli.

On a side note, maybe now she can ease up on that ridiculous fee for pictures that she charges. (I tried to get a picture of my then-girlfriend with her about five years ago and was rebuffed by a $20 price tag. For shame, Elvira, for shame! You know how much spank material I missed out on because of that?)

Nice. 'This!' has been a goldmine for b-movies on Saturday nights. I'm looking forward to seeing Elvira there.
I get THIS network on regular over the air digital telvision here in NYC and I gotta say its become one of my favorite channels. All they show are old films no one has ever heard of. "Panic in Year Zero", "The Apple", "Curse of the Swamp Creature". Elvira will be a perfect addition to this channel.
Good news indeed. Actually that channel THIS! is only available over the air HD (to my knowledge anyway). Getting the channel is easy, just plug an HD antenna to your TV and it should be available. I grew up watching her old show, and remember undressing her with my then 13 year old eyes. Especially in those slightly out of focus zoom camera shots LOL There is also another pretty hot horror movie host you forgot, Ivonna Cadaver, I believe her show is (or was, I havent seen it in a while) syndicated too. Besides showcasing her enormous ta-ta's, her show was also notable for having Butch 'Don't call me Eddie' Patrick as a guest host.
A lot of times the cons set those prices, the guests have to abide by them.
Now that's a woman.
$20 is the standard rate these days – Golden Age stars charge upwards of $50.
Actually my good sir – the kids DO have someone to crack cheesy jokes about even cheesier films!
Joe Bob…the King ?
Not really.. Here's a hint.. Whats Parma spelled backwards?
60 or not I would still bang her like a jackhammer as long as she is in costume! If not the deal is off
This is cool and all but checking out 60 year old cleavage while watching a b-movie is kinda bonerkill. Didn't they have some contest to see who would be the NEXT Elvira? An updated rack with the same sense of humor would help a lot.
Ah, yes, I do miss Job Bob Briggs and Monsterbision on TBT. The Bail Girls were so much bun.
George S.– Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, do whatever you want, just DONT GET CAUGHT!!!! Zingy zingy zingy!
Hey Chudfan, I'm in total agreement with you. Lets go find Elvira and give 'er the ole "Eiffel Tower!" Hahahaha. Wow, I never thought I'd see Elvira and her bodacious ta-tas on TV again; this is gonna be great!
Oh HELL yes!
I got her sig for $25.00 at Texas Frightmare Weekend. She still looks amazing. I wanted to suggest a collaboration between Elvira and Chester Grim, but I was too nervous to say much of anything to her.
$20.00 isn't as bad as it seems. I have Ken Foree, Sid Haid, Adrien Barboe, and Dawn of the Dead's Machete Zombie autographs and I paid $20.00 each. Ya wanna talk about expensive autographs, at a comic-con a few years back I was discouraged by Adam West's $50.00 price tag.
Her Movie Elvira Mistress of the Dark is a friggen classic. I can watch that over and over and still laugh.
