Plot
After solving the case with Vincent Price, Elvira is sent to a pocket universe where she relives a series of classic horror films from different eras of cinema, starting with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, Ridley Scott's Alien, Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (Freddy Krueger), and David Cronenberg's The Fly. Of course, they reference these films, but don't use the same titles; however, it's clear they are alluding to them.
These dangerous adventures are threatening reality, leading to the emergence of an agency called the W.O.W., tasked with controlling all these activities that put reality at risk.
Elvira breaks the fourth wall on every page with clever and sharp jokes, and her brilliant pop culture references will have you laughing non-stop.
This volume closes with the promise of Elvira's return, but this time to Monsterland.
Art
Silvia once again captures the tone and details of each of the classic horror films she references/pays tribute to. Her adaptability, both in terms of spaces and characters, is a visual delight, and she always highlights Elvira's sensuality and mischievousness.
Summary
Elvira puts her knowledge of horror films to the test in order to survive, as she is experiencing them firsthand. An excellent starting point for a smart series brimming with pop culture.
