A sexy punk vampire, Elvira is a vision of contrasts. Her gothic style and vampish behavior seems like it would conflict with her valley girl speech, yet her charm and campy humor brings it all together into a character that has been popular for over 35 years. As the host of late-night horror movies, she became the reason to tune in until her popularity drove her into many other projects. In 1988, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/prodinfo.asp?number=TW58463&amp;utm_source=ee-blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=product\">Elvira<\/a> hit the big time with her own movie, <em>Elvira, Mistress of the Dark<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Now Tweeterhead, in their ongoing line of <em>Elvira<\/em> collectibles, has created this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/prodinfo.asp?number=TW58463&amp;utm_source=ee-blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=product\">Elvira Vegas or Bust Maquette Statue<\/a> in honor of her 1988 movie. As scantily clad as she&#8217;s ever been, Elvira shines in the role of a gothic Vegas showgirl (Interestingly enough, actress Cassandra Peterson got her start as a showgirl in Vegas when she was 17). This statue captures all the playfulness Elvira brings to the game, as well as her other stunning assets.<\/p>\n[justified_image_grid preset=1 ids=&#8221;54442,54444,54441,54443&#8243; thumbs_spacing=5 row_height=200 height_deviation=30 caption=off overlay=hovered overlay_color=#111111 overlay_opacity=0.4 outer_border_width=2 outer_border_color=#cccccc lightbox=prettyphoto margin=&#8221;10px 0&#8243; mobile_caption=off mobile_overlay=off]\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/prodinfo.asp?number=TW58463&amp;utm_source=ee-blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=product\">This remarkable statue<\/a> by Tweeterhead stands at 16 1\/2-inches tall. It was sculpted by Trevor Grove and Matt Black, two of the best artists in the industry. This show-stopping statue is made of high quality resin, depicting Elvira spreading her arms in triumph atop a spider web base. Adding this statue to your collection will no doubt augment it, but it will also soak up much of the attention!
