Bonus Video! Elvira + Michael Jackson + Vincent Price
🕑 Added 2021-11-07 18:01:02 +0000 UTCHi hello! Here's some more fun stories that I came across in my Elvira research, and also some fun finds from viewers like you! If the embedded video doesn't work, try here: https://youtu.be/IPSI9snHX48
First things first: Can you identify where you might've seen Elvira's spooky old mansion before? The answer may make you say "how surprising." And: Thanks to viewer Tuna, at least one of Elvira's "lost" Saturday Night Live appearances has been tracked down! Hip hip hooray. I also have a fun Elvira/Vincent Price connection to show you, and also the story of the time she got revenge on Coors. Plus a sneak peek at my next video, involving a ~forbidden marriage~!
And PS: Here's where you can watch the Elvira SNL episode -- she only appears in the opening segment and in the goodbyes at the end: https://archive.org/details/saturday-night-live-s-13-e-03-dabney-coleman-the-cars

Oh what a delightful connection. Looking up the Kim Petras track now!

I’m obviously super late to this (I somehow missed this bonus video when it was released), but I just wanted to point out that interestingly, a few years ago Elvira was featured on a Kim Petras track called Turn Off the Light, and it’s very clearly an homage to the Vincent Price voice over in Thriller. So funny to hear she was actually considered for that!

Woo! Love it.

I can totally see that playing into Lorne's decision!
Matt Baume
It's amazing -- she knew EXACTLY what she wanted ot make!

That's very possible! Dennis Miller is RACING through the jokes like he's got a bus to catch, so maybe they were just way over time. I just think it's a bit fishy that they snipped BOTH of Cassandra's appearances after she fought with Lorne. Also hello Seattle neighbor!

I'm wondering if her Weekend Update was cut for time? Most re-broadcast episodes of SNL (if the musical performances remain intact) are about an hour and 5 minutes. They often cut the guest appearance from WU if they need the time. Just a week or two ago Melissa Villaseñor had one cut... at least these days they chuck 'em up on YouTube from the dress rehearsal footage so we don't totally miss out. Thanks for sharing this link! PS: Somehow I didn't realize you were that Matt from The Stranger (I've "only" been here 4.5 years)... hi from a fellow Seattleite and recent patron of yours... waving from the Gayborhood!!
