Our last pick for the 'Suburba-Noia' section of the video store originated in 1981 at KHJ-TV in LA. Cassandra Peterson, along with a few other collaborators, created one of the most enduring horror hosts of all time. Tonight, we talk about the great Evlira’s big-screen debut. It’s Spooky, sexy, and funny, with a disarming, self-deprecating, and sex-positive protagonist. She's an iconic feminist counterculture macabre creature of the night. 1988’s Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. Listen anywhere you get podcasts and follow us on Instagram @thereturnslot_ofhorrorpod.

The second pick for the 'Suburba-Noia' section of the video store is another "Scary House in the Neighborhood movie" showcasing the greatest monster of all time: white, rich Americans. Coming out of an oversaturated era of the Boogie Men with too many sequels, we have something original yet familiar: 1991's The People Under the Stairs, directed by the late great Wes Craven. Listen anywhere you get podcasts and follow us on Instagram @thereturnslot_ofhorrorpod.

Did you think The Return Slot was done with the 'Sassy Sequels' section of the video store? Well, we decided to do one more!

Starring the Greta Garbo of Horror, Mark Patton. Written, directed and produced by the most clueless straight white men in cinematic history - more on that in the episode.
