People that don't get Elvira probably missed the era of the late night horror show on basic cable tv. This was before we had 300 channels to choose from on Comcast. It was an hour for insomniacs, "B" horror buffs, and perhaps a little PG-13 T and A for 13 year old boys like myself. I have a lot of nostalgia for this era of television because I caught Elvira during my adolescence.
