She went to my high school in Colorado Springs. Sounds weird to even say it
My brother and I went looking for walruses in Oregon one time and we ended up at the rogue brewery restaurant in Newport. As we walked in, the only black dude in the place was loudly singing karaoke of the Elvira country song. He was making everyone laugh by inserting rude comments between the lyrics or instead of. It was memorable. So now, whenever I see a picture of Elvira I think of that guy thundering “ELVIRA you fat tiddied bitch”
she’s on fedi btw
Hasn’t posted in three years, but there’s definitely an account

TIL, I just posted it for the boobs.
An underrated comedian, she had the “snarky horror movie host” shtick down cold, and turned it into a brand. And you’ve got to respect her sheer staying power in a business that chews people up as they age.
100% of my awareness of her is from the simpsons.
Meka leka hi meka hiney ho
Oh yeah, they were both in the Groundlings.
For far too long I took her act at face value and always assumed she was just an airhead with large breasts. Turns out she is pretty fuckin awesome:
She was the theme of 3 different pinball machines produced over the years and all of them are sought after by collectors. They are really fun games with great art and theme integration. Scared Stiff is probably my favorite of the 3 (the other 2 being Elvira and the Party Monsters and Elvira’s House of Horrors)
Pinball aside, as another commenter in the thread stated: she kinda influenced my taste in women, as well 😅
Are they actually fun to play or popular because nerds + boobs.
Actually very well-designed games, imo! I love Scared Stiff because it has distinctive modes/challenges and particularly for the “wizard mode” where you try to run the “Stiff-o-Meter” to it’s limit. It’s got frogs (“Leapers”) that jump when you hit certain targets, it has a spinning spider in the backbox that you occasionally get to spin like a prize wheel to collect various bonuses, and the whole playfield gets used in creative ways to set up the various objectives. The sense of humor is spot-on too. I would add one to my collection if i had the money and space for it…
I don’t think they would be quite as sought-after by collectors if they weren’t genuinely good games. If I’m not mistaken, all 3 titles were designed by Dennis Nordman – a well-known and beloved designer who made some of the classics from the late 80’s into the early 90’s.

Look up Cassandra Peterson, the actress that plays Elvira. So beautiful
She’s also a leftie like most of us here. I remember her making headlines a little while back because she got rid of her Tesla when Muskrat did something stupid or other.
Some of the best tiddies in the business
Elvira! Oom-papa, oom-papa, oom-papa, wow, wow.
My heart’s on Fi-Ruh, Elvira
