To be sure, it is a "racy" sort of image for the red-blooded types. But I believe in Elvira, and her TV show meant something to me in the 80's. Her character was a genuine horror host, with the spooky set and sound effects, doing silly gags and making fun of the (usually awful) films she showed. I don't remember another one doing this kind of routine in the Los Angeles area afterwards, and I miss it!

Here's a page on horror hosts, for anyone who might like to read more about them:
