I don’t know about you, but since I’ve been in self-quarantine, I’ve been watching all kinds of old movies and TV shows. I’m always looking for something new to watch to keep myself entertained. Lots of talented individuals out there are making an effort to keep people entertained, and now, Elvira is starting to recommend movies on Twitter.
She recently shared a video recommending her first two films, which includes Misery and Night of the Living Dead. She also reminded fans that this is a good opportunity to revisit her feature-film debut with 1988’s Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. She said:
“I’m here to give you some suggestions about what to do when you’re sitting at home, bored out of your mind, and you need something to do. My suggestions are to watch some old, classic horror movies. And these first two come under the heading ‘It Could Be Worse.’ First one is the fabulous movie from the Stephen King novel Misery. I love this movie so much. Just think about it: you’re trapped at home with one other person, in a cabin, at least you don’t have a crazy lady there with a sledgehammer, right? Or, I’m assuming you don’t. I’m hoping. The other one is the George Romero classic Night of the Living Dead. I love this movie. It is a great movie. You’ve got seven people this time trapped in a house together and not only do they really start butting up against each other, but they’ve got flesh-eating corpses outside trying to get in, so it could be worse, right?
“The third movie does not come under that heading. The third movie is Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and it’s just good for a laugh. I’m not pitching this because I get any money, because, believe me, I don’t, not a cent. It’s just a damn funny movie. I’ve watched it one billion times and I still laugh. I love that movie.”
Misery and Night of the Living Dead are both great movies! Misery just popped up on Hulu, and I plan on watching that later tonight. As for Night of the Living Dead, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen that movie, and it’s time that I do revisit it.
