Elvira's Movie Macabre: Teenagers from Outer Space is a horror-comedy film that originally premiered in 1959. The movie was revamped and rereleased in 2010 with additional commentary by the Mistress of the Dark herself, Elvira (played by Cassandra Peterson). The film follows a group of alien teenagers who travel to Earth in a flying saucer to research the planet for their future colonization. Their leader, Derek (played by David Love), is a rebel who goes against his people's orders to exterminate all humans in order to make way for their new society.
Derek befriends a group of human teenagers, including Betty Morgan (played by Dawn Bender), and tries to convince them of his peaceful intentions. However, things take a turn for the worse when Derek's father arrives on Earth to carry out the original plan of destroying all humans.
The plot of the film is a classic sci-fi trope that has been used in countless films over the years. However, what sets Elvira's Movie Macabre: Teenagers from Outer Space apart is the comedic commentary provided by Elvira throughout the film.
Elvira's humor is irreverent and at times even downright silly, but it adds a new level of entertainment to the movie. Her commentary provides a welcome break from the sometimes slow and uneventful plot of the film.
In addition to Elvira's commentary, the film also features several nods to classic horror and sci-fi films. The creature design for the aliens is reminiscent of the iconic aliens from the film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The film also features a number of flying saucer scenes that will remind viewers of other classic sci-fi films, like The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Overall, Elvira's Movie Macabre: Teenagers from Outer Space is an enjoyable watch for fans of horror and sci-fi films, as well as fans of Elvira. The film is not without its flaws, but the comedic commentary provided by Elvira makes up for the film's shortcomings.
