2. She Had A Reality Show
In 2007, Elvira jumped on the reality show bandwagon and was the star of her own show. It aired on Fox Reality channel, and was called The Search for the Next Elvira. The premise of the show was that she was looking for a lady to impersonate her at events – not because she was retiring. She said, “I do so many appearances every year at Halloween time that there is no way that I can do them all or even a fraction of them, so I take the top 10 gigs that I can make it to and all these other great gigs go begging. I thought ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there were tons of Elviras that we could clone and send out and then take a percentage of their money?’”
Elvira’s requirements weren’t that the girls had to have big chests, because she said one could always get help from gym socks. She wanted the girls to truly love horror films, have a cheesy sense of humor, and be able to French kiss a tarantula.
