| Elvira's 40th Anniversary, Very Scary, Very Special Special |
Enjoy the wedding. Love, Cassie & Nina! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 25!
Tonight's Top Pick, darlings, is the Mistress of the Dark's anniversary special. Elvira's 40th Anniversary, Very Scary, Very Special Special (Shudder, 8 p.m.) celebrates her 40 years as a horror icon. She presents her first film, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, followed by some of her favorites: House on Haunted Hill, The City of the Dead, and Messiah of Evil. Cassandra Peterson, the newly-out woman behind Elvira, celebrated her 70th birthday a few days ago.
Elsewhere, Frankie Drake listens to music, Eli Roth returns to Horror History, Side Hustle has one last hustle for the year, there's rain at the Manor, Decades Patrols the Highway, Carey Mulligan seeks out Bo Burnham, the League of Villains clash with Academia, and Fena is safe but Yukimaru is wounded.
