Just seems to be so many more better themes out there. Maybe a Vampira pin instead? But if the people who are designing it like it and those buying it, then it's all good.

Quoted from o-din:Wow, we didn't have Sam Terry. As far as I remember in LA before Seymour Presents, there was Chiller Theater or something like that, but I don't think there was a host.That was mid 60s.
I never looked at Elvira as a true horror host, because she really never was in the same vein as Chiller Theater, Shock Theater, and all of the nationwide variations. They had a series of stock film catalogs that they used. These included the classic Universals, Hammers, Val Lawton's, the Godzilla films, 50's classics, etc. When I first became aware of Elvira, she was hosting mostly absolute shit. There were a few decent films in her series, but it was mostly ass. So I saw a chick with her tits hanging out showing shitty films, unlike Chiller Theater and the other incarnations that were showing the real stuff.

Quoted from Reality_Studio:Ironically, the various hundreds of lady feminists I know in their 20's and 30's are both very familiar with the Elvira brand, always walked up to my Elvira pins wanting to play them, and also view Elvira as early empowerment where she wore what she wanted, looked as she wanted, said what she wanted and did what she wanted without care about the backlash or fear about not being "as a woman should be".
Just like porn stars.
Quoted from benheck:Maybe it's more of a pin about B-movies and they use Elvira to tie them together?
Note on the above VUK photo how Mano's "The Master" is seem on the plastic.
Should have been a MST3K pin..but they didn't have any tits.
