Hello Darlings

I was unfortunately too young to watch Movie Macabre when it aired. Despite having been born in the mid-1980s, I have long had a love for Elvira. When I was seven or eight years old, I attempted to walk out of a grocery store with an Elvira standee advertising beer (I think it was Coors). As a young queer man, I thought Elvira was incredible. She was strong and in control. She didn't care what people thought of her; she just lived her best life. And she had a strong association with my favorite holiday: Halloween.

Unfortunately for me, most of Elvira's Movie Macabre is not available to watch. There are exactly 12 episodes of the original run of Movie Macabre available on DVD and streaming. Twelve episodes out of 140. It's truly disappointing that I will never get to see every episode.

To assuage my disappointment, I have decided to watch all of the movies featured on Movie Macabre. I made a list on Letterboxd and I am going to spend the foreseeable future working my way through these incredible and/or terrible films. Where possible, I will watch the Movie Macabre episode.

This isn't going to be a quick journey. I don't live a life that allows me to watch 140 movies in a short period of time. Regardless of life's time constraints, I will still attempt to watch all of these films, and then move on to Elvira's post-Movie Macabre projects. All while praying that one day, more of this delightful series finds its way into my hands.

Until then, Unpleasant Dreams...

Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark by Cassandra Peterson #HalloweenReads #Memoir #MovieMacabre

It's officially Halloween month, and I couldn't help but finally get to #CassandraPeterson's memoir of her days as #Elvira, #MistressoftheDark, which came out last year. #MovieMacabre was must-see TV for me and found her life fascinating. #BookReview

From Goodreads: “The woman behind the icon known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the undisputed Queen of Halloween, reveals her full story, filled with intimate bombshells, told by the bombshell herself. On Good Friday in 1953, at only 18 months old, 25 miles from the nearest hospital in Manhattan, Kansas, Cassandra Peterson reached for a pot on the stove and doused herself in boiling water.…

Movie Macabre 106 - Blacula (1972)

Movie Macabre Season 01 - Episode 06 (006) Original Air Date: 01 November 1981

Blacula (1972) Directed by William Crain Written by Joan Torres and Raymond Koenig

"An ancient African prince, turned into a vampire by Dracula himself, finds himself in modern Los Angeles." (IMDB)

Starring: William Marshall Vonetta McGee Denise Nicholas Thalmus Rasulala

Blacula was the sixth movie featured on Elvira's Movie Macabre first season. Equal parts supernatural horror and Blaxploitation film, Blacula is a film that continues to have an important spot in horror history. Though I had never seen Blacula, cultural osmosis led me to believe I knew more about this movie.

Prince Mamuwalde is a cultural ambassador sent to open relations with Transylvania and the rest of the world. Dracula, a racist who delights in enslaving people, takes offense to Mamuwalde's demand that he stop all slave trade in Transylvania. So Dracula turns Mamuwalde into a vampire, and curses him with a terrible name.

Luckily, no one calls him Blacula. What follows is a quintessential story about a vampire trying to reunite with their lost love while wrestling with their demons. William Crain's directing tends more towards action than horror, which I think benefits the film greatly. Elements that could seem cheesy come off more exciting. The film makes excellent use of light and shadow.

The story is very character-driven. The four central performances are all captivating in their own ways. We get to know a lot about these characters just based on how they carry themselves or interact with others. These are strong, intelligent, confident characters.

Overall, Blacula was a highlight of these first six Movie Macabre features. It's easy to see how Blaxploitation films, their casts, and their creators influenced so much of American pop culture at the time. Add Blacula to your watchlist if you enjoy supernatural action and character driven stories.

This film also features The Hues Corporation. Most well known for their song "Rock the Boat," the group recorded three songs for Blacula. I saw a lot of reviews complaining about the almost complete performance of "There He Is Again" in the middle of movie. I loved this moment. The song feels like a message, both to the audience and the characters. It doesn't slow the pace of the film. And look at the joy. This is a group of people doing what they love to do. I love to see it.
