The Elvira Show!

Our own Brew Berry reminded me that today is Elvira’s birthday! (Well, yesterday was, depending on when you read this.)

He suggested that I run this in celebration. Here’s the unaired pilot of The Elvira Show, from 1993. HOW have I never seen this?

Description, from YouTube: “CBS filmed a pilot for The Elvira Show hot off the heels of the movie, ‘Elvira, Mistress of the Dark’ — though the show’s plot has nothing to do with the movie. I was lucky enough to actually be at the taping of this pilot. The show starred Cassandra Peterson as Elvira and Katherine Helmond as Aunt Minerva. The writing is witty, and full of innuendoes and one-liners that are so bad they are great! Too bad it was never picked up.”

Wait, so it’s Elvira AND MONA?! Count me in. Happy birthday, Cass!
