When their father dies, three greedy sisters and their husbands reunite to hear the reading of the will. His fortune is theirs ... assuming, of course, they’re able to survive a full week at the family mansion. One by one, the unsavory characters find themselves the targets of an unknown killer who has plans of his own for the family fortune. The word Halloween is synonymous with three things: linens with holes cut into them, candy corn that tastes like neither candy nor corn and, of course ... Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. In 1981 the B-movie queen (played to perfection by Cassandra Peterson) began her campaign to bring only the very best — and worst — of schlock cinema to audiences. The result was Elvira’s Movie Macabre, a television series that featured a different film, infused with Elvira’s own twist of humor and innuendo, each week. The series lasted five years and made Elvira the first nationally syndicated horror show hostess to ever hit the airwaves. Not to mention the sexiest Halloween icon since Frankenstein’s bride!
