Elvira's Monster Hits
While there's some overlap between this collection andElvira Presents Haunted Hits, devotees of Elvira herself will probably find themselves more bewitched on this release, since the Mistress of the Dark's mark is more palpable. She duets with B-52's frontman Fred Schneider on the so-goofy-it's-great "Here Comes the Bride of Frankenstein" and even tries her hand--well, OK, her larynx--at hip-hop on the scaaaaary "Monsta Rap." For good measure, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince Will Smith get an opportunity for a rebuttal to the latter, in the form of "A Nightmare on My Street." Other holiday staples like Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash" and Joey Gaynor's instantly recognizable "Addams Family" theme round out the short but sweet set.--David Sprague
