Yes, it is dated, but the themes are still relevant today!

The person who commented on this movie needs to remember when it was made. It was 1964, and for that time, I thought it was done pretty well, if you look at the themes the movie was trying to portray. Sure it was full of cheesy effects, but the premise was pretty good. Filmaking had at least progressed from the '50's Cold War hysteria to the 60's trying to understand one another (somewhat). Some people need to stop trying to be witty and hope they get to be the next Roger Ebert, and be be honest about a movie. I have great memories of seeing this movie in the 1960's at a theater, and I have a copy I obtained on the Internet simply because of the fun such sci-fi was and continues to be for fans of the genre. Without such movies, you would not have the Star Wars franchise!!! Think about the history of the genre, and not how clever you are!

A true turkey, save your money!

As a fan of Cassandra Peterson (and Elvira), I was truly disappointed by this movie. I purchased the DVD with anticipation, having enjoyed the first movie, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. This sequel, or whatever it is supposed to be, was incoherent,the plot was hard to follow and just was NOT funny. I agree with the previous review in that the Elvira character looks a little long in the tooth(pun intended), and has lost some of her vaunted sexuality. This is a major disappointment for fans loyal to Elvira, and I count myself as one of them from the '80's on. I also don't think Elvira needs a flunky or sidekick; that took away from her character. I can now see why no studio, major or minor, would touch this. I feel cheated and ripped-off.
