Elvira's Haunted Hills - The Movie
Hollywood - February 14, 2001:
Queen "B" Productions announced today the completion of principal photography on
"Elvira's Haunted Hills," the first Elvira feature in thirteen years, following
the successful "Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark" released theatrically in 1988. The
film stars Cassandra Peterson as Elvira and Richard O'Brien (writer/creator of "The
Rocky Horror Picture Show") as Vladimere Hellsubus .
 Filmed entirely on location over a two month period in Transylvania
and at Mediapro Studios in Romania, the film takes place in 1851 Carpathia and is a parody
of the classic Vincent Price/ Edgar Allen Poe films of the early sixties. Elvira's dreams
of performing in the Parisian Revue, "Yes I Can-Can" are put on hold when she
accidently winds up in a mysterious, medievel castle inhabited by the bizarre and sinister
Lord Hellsubus.
Produced and financed by Mark Pierson ("Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark"), the film
is directed by Sam Irvin (director "Guilty As Charged," co-producer "The
Broken Hearts Club," co-executive producer "Gods And Monsters") and written
by Cassandra Peterson and John Paragon (both writers of "Elvira, Mistress Of The
Dark")
Director of Photography is Viorel Sergovici. Production and Costume Designer is Radu
Corciova.
