Horror fans were also given an exciting celebration of Elvira on Shudder, as the streaming service delivered fans Elvira’s 40th Anniversary, Very Scary, Very Special Special last week, which saw the beloved host showcasing four films in an exciting marathon. For those fans who might have missed the live event, they can check out each of the four films with Elvira’s introductions On Demand.
Earlier this year also saw the release of Peterson’s memoirs, full of unexpected insight into the figure’s career and legacy. Comic book fans have been given a number of exciting adventures over the year, proving just how much life is left in the Elvira persona.
While fans haven’t yet been given a recurring series featuring the horror host, Peterson previously teased that she was working on a potential follow-up to her 1988 film Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, one of the films featured during her Very Scary, Very Special Special.
“My movie that I’m working on now, it’s kind of like what happens toย Elviraย afterย Mistress of the Darkย ends,” Peterson confirmed to ComicBook.com back in 2019. “My second movie,ย Haunted Hills, was going off on a whole different tangent. Just because I was so in love with the old Roger Corman movies growing up as a kid, and I wanted to make another one, it was based on that.”
She added, “This one that I’m working on I really love because it’s like where did Elvira go after she ended up in Las Vegas? Then what’d she do? Did it work out? Did she stay there? That’s where this one picks up.”
Stay tuned for details on future Elvira projects and check out Netflix’s social channels every Sunday.
