Emmy-winning multi-platform media company World of Wonder today announces that they have licensed a 10-film collection from Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. THE ELVIRA COLLECTION will feature some of Elvria's best B-Movie horror camp features, marking the continued expansion of WOW Presents Plus' licensed content library and exemplifying the brand's commitment to bringing new life to iconic cult-classic media. In conjunction with her appearance on the Grand Finale of RuPaul's Drag Race, where she was the recipient of the Giving Us Life-time Achievement Award, THE ELVIRA COLLECTION will be released on WOW Presents Plus in the US and Canada today, April 22.
THE ELVIRA COLLECTION includes episodes from Elvira's Movie Macabre, an old-fashioned style horror movie marathon hosted and commentated on by the Mistress of the Dark herself, also known as Cassandra Peterson. The collection will feature 10 classic films, including Night of the Living Dead, The Terror, Scared to Death, A Bucket of Blook, The Manster, The House That Screamed, The Devil's Wedding Night, Maneater of Hydra, The Killer Shrews, Gamera, and Super Monster. WOW acquired the collection from SHOUT! Studios and will drop all episodes this evening.
"Elvira is more than just a great set of boobs. She's also an incredible pair of legs!" said Cassandra Peterson, the artist behind Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, "Check them out in THE ELVIRA COLLECTION, streaming on WOW PResents Plus starting April 22."
THE ELVIRA COLLECTION will join the WOW Presents Plus content library of over 1,500 hours of ambitious and diverse programming, which features additional acquisitions such as "Thunderbirds," a 1960s cult-classic Gerry Anderson series, as well as includes the entire international Drag Race franchise, WOW Presents Plus original series, World of Wonder's award-winning documentary films, and more.
