Elvira, the wise-cracking vamp wants to take her act from the little screen to the glitzy stages of Las Vegas. It seems a stroke of luck when her great-aunt Morgana dies and (despite having no prior knowledge of the relative) is a beneficiary of the woman’s will. 

Thus Elvira makes the journey to Falwell, Massachusetts to stake claim to her inheritance, but is disappointed when she learns that she has only inherited a dilapidated house, a poodle, and a cook book, and finds the conservative folk of Falwell are reticent to welcome a sexed-up and unconventional woman like her. To compound this, she is accused of being a witch! Elvira discovers the evil force in the town and finds that only she has the power to stop it's plans.
