Elvira! Oom-papa, oom-papa, oom-papa, wow, wow.
100% of my awareness of her is from the simpsons.
Got any of that… soap?
For far too long I took her act at face value and always assumed she was just an airhead with large breasts. Turns out she is pretty fuckin awesome:
Stone-cold fox. One of the OG Big-Tiddy-Goth-GF’s.
Meka leka hi meka hiney ho
Some of the best tiddies in the business
She was the theme of 3 different pinball machines produced over the years and all of them are sought after by collectors. They are really fun games with great art and theme integration. Scared Stiff is probably my favorite of the 3 (the other 2 being Elvira and the Party Monsters and Elvira’s House of Horrors)
Pinball aside, as another commenter in the thread stated: she kinda influenced my taste in women, as well 😅
The innuendo in Scared Stiff is amazing. It’s one of my favorite games.
Are they actually fun to play or popular because nerds + boobs.
Actually very well-designed games, imo! I love Scared Stiff because it has distinctive modes/challenges and particularly for the “wizard mode” where you try to run the “Stiff-o-Meter” to it’s limit. It’s got frogs (“Leapers”) that jump when you hit certain targets, it has a spinning spider in the backbox that you occasionally get to spin like a prize wheel to collect various bonuses, and the whole playfield gets used in creative ways to set up the various objectives. The sense of humor is spot-on too. I would add one to my collection if i had the money and space for it…
I don’t think they would be quite as sought-after by collectors if they weren’t genuinely good games. If I’m not mistaken, all 3 titles were designed by Dennis Nordman – a well-known and beloved designer who made some of the classics from the late 80’s into the early 90’s.
They’re really well designed surprisingly!
Remember when things could be good AND have pretty tits on them? Pinball machines, P-51Ds, coeds…
The Elvira Amiga games where pretty good as well
Needs more soap
I remember seeing her in magazines etc and I was so fucking shocked when I heard her speak. Just absolutely didn’t expect her super Cali/hippy speech.
She is still the coolest person ever and She is 100% goals.
She shaped my taste in women as a young boy.
she shaped my taste in women as a young girl!
I think you would’ve had a better shot (age aside) because she’s a lesbian.
She shaped my taste in women as a young cannibal.
She drives me crazy
Oh Oh?
Cracy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with Elvira. And Elvira makes me crazy.
Sounds like a good thing
It’s rumored that the stripper on the cover of Tom Waits’ album Small Change is her before she was Elvira, but neither she nor Tom know for sure.
If youre so inclined check out Elvira’s Cookbook From Hell. Its super campy, legitimately hilarious, and the recipes are much better than you’d think! Nothing mind bending, but super charming and well worth the read/cook.
