What if a mad scientist spliced Vampira and a Valley Girl? Mad, you say? Maybe you are the one who is mad, because what you’d be unleashing would be none other than the curvaceous countess of cleavage and corny jokes, Elvira! The horror host played by Cassandra Peterson made her own leap from the small screen of Los Angeles’ KHJ-TV to the big screen of cinemas for her 1988 movie Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. Tarred and feathered when it was released, this spooky season is the perfect time to relish its witchy, titillating, double-entendre-stuff dun. And not only is this screening free, but Double Trouble throws in complimentary popcorn. So grab a handful or two for double your pleasure. – Richard Whittaker
