The Art of the Ad: It Had to Be Built!

When they named a game after me, it had to be built!

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

The list of Elvira merchandise is long and always growing. The Mistress of the Dark has already made a few appearances in this series over the years because, well, who doesn’t want a sexy goth chick with epic cleavage that’s bursting out of her dress and nylon legs that go on for days and nights on end?? Plainly put, the seductive siren of late night horror hosting could sell a bottle of water to a drowning man.

Just in time for Halloween season, today’s post features ads for the various pinball machines to bear Elvira’s name and likeness over the years. As you might imagine, the games are a lot of fun, but getting scared, erm, uh, stiff by the lovely Elvira is really what it’s all about. After all, these pinball machines might be built, but the smoking hot babe they’re named for is BUILT.
