Halloween : Costumes, Candy , Party Supplies and More

Her sarcastic wit and double-entendré humor are two more things that make it a comedy classic in it's own right.

For some reason, I haven't entirely given up on Squidoo. Stubborn I guess. When I was putting together a "quick" Elvira Page there, I knew it just had to feature the famous tassel dance from her first feature movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. The whole movie is rated PG-13, so this isn't "explicit," but the self-appointed Squidoo censors make their own secret rules. Well, their loss is your gain. The famous Tassel Dance:





Watch for my upcoming Halloween Spook-tacular, coming soon! Unpleasant dreams.
