10 Forgotten Horror Movies From The Early 2000s

10. Elvira's Haunted Hills

The first horror host to be syndicated nationally, Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, has earned her spot in the halls of horror royalty. Naturally, such an iconic character has had a few forays into film, most famously with Elvira: Mistress of the Dark in 1988. The film was practically destined for cult status, as was its sequel in 2001 - Elvira's Haunted Hills. 

Upon its release, critics tore the movie apart for, well, for just not making most of them laugh, frankly. Different strokes and all that, but for my money, Haunted Hills is a wonderfully cheesy good time, just like the previous Elvira film.

Cassandra Peterson's Elvira has always been one of the most amusingly magnetic presences in horror history, and that doesn't change in Haunted Hills. The humor, for the most part, has aged shockingly well, and while a few gags could be more tightly written, it's a solid 6/10 horror comedy. 

If you love the Mistress of the Dark (and really, who doesn't?) Haunted Hills is right up your dark, decrepit alley.
