Rediscovering Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

The TV series NCIS Los Angeles has been driving me nuts. I have been a fan of NCIS with Mark Harmon, and NCIS Los Angeles followed it. As much as I like the actress Linda Hunt, the acting and scriptwriting in NCIS Los Angeles is more than I can take.

If we are going to watch bad shows, let's rediscover "Movie Macabre" with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Here is a link to an old science fiction film, "They Came From Beyond Space", hosted by Elvira, who makes fun of the film.

(I had to press the "reload" button repeatedly to get the show to play, so be patient, it will work eventually, but you have to listen to short commercials occasionally.)

If you can enjoy cheesy science fiction, you might enjoy "They Came from Beyond Space." At 1:25 into the film you get to see the Master of the Moon in a truly cheesy costume.

The acting and scriptwriting in "They Came From Beyond Space" is superior to what you will see on NCIS Los Angeles. Elvira's commentary is humorous. I did not see Elvira when she was on TV, but in my youth I did see Morgus the Magnificant when I was a kid in New Orleans.

I remember laughing at the skits Morgus presented during his show. Unfortunately, Morgus has no presence on IMBD.com nor on Hulu. "Mystery Science Fiction Theater 3000" had a format like Elriva: cheesy shows with humorous commentary. I don't see anything on TV today like these shows.

The shows on TV are so bad today it might be time to rediscover the bad shows of the past.

PS: Elvira's feature length film entitled "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark" (PG-13) is not appropriate for young children.
