Elvira's Movie Macabre
1981–1986SyndicationHorror
A horror host wrapped around public-domain films, and the character that outlasted every film she introduced.
Elvira's Movie Macabre kept one opening title sequence, 98 seconds long, across season 4.
At 98 seconds, it opens well above the 50-second median for horror sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Syndication in 1981, when Romper Room, Truth or Consequences and Soul Train were also on the network.
