[1990-10-27-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Halloween Havoc: Terror Rules The Ring commercial

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Elvira does a commercial hyping Halloween Havoc! Sid makes an appearance too!

Fairly effective, and better than the Wild Thing videos.

its amazing to me that someone like Elvira has two wrestling tie ins. We get her showing off her cleavage and a Sid cameo at the end.

Elvira joins the list of those who worked for both WWF and WCW.

If Elvira is down with it, I'm down with it. I rent MANY a video back in the day with Elvira's endorsement on the over-sized box. One of them ended up on MST3K (Blood Waters of Dr. Z). Appropos of nothing, I saw three MST3K movies before they got MSTed (the afore-mentioned Dr. Z, Hobgoblins and Alien from LA).

 

Katie Lee Burchill/Winter is now doing the Elvira thing on dvd now (even Angels Brigade, which was on MST3K, which I liked, dammit!). That POLEVAULTS her into the Top Position on My Favorite Wrestling Ladies list.

Nice to see Elvira again; she was better here than she was flirting with Jesse and swooning over Hogan at Mania 2. Nice to see Sid in a cameo as well.

 

What was the deal with announcing Windham as Arn's tag team partner against Doom? Did they have other plans for Flair at first? He's prominently mentioned in the ad, but if he hadn't been in the tag title match, what else was there for him to do?

This is cheesy, but not overly cheesy for what it is, and actually a pretty good video for WCW. Even a decent celebrity endorsement from Elvira. They could have just as easily had Ken Osmond or Jason Hervey but they did the right thing here. On another note, my mom used to rent Elvira Mistress of the Dark for me and my sister to watch on Halloween, like several years in a row when I was little. Very bizarre choice, since my mom was pretty strict with what we were allowed to watch.
