A revamping, if you will, of the 1980's classic horror movie showcase, hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Elvira celebrates the achievements of "Eegah" (or lack thereof) by honoring the film at the Elvie Awards.
A descent into Hell is triggered when "Ex-Lord" Donald Brocklebank finds that he must leave Longleigh House for London to find a way to pay for the medical treatments for his wife Nancy. Alone, his over-protected, delusional, adult son, James, fancies himself in charge of the manor house with his terminally ill mother, and barricades the two of them into the house for a series of ever more panicked home treatments, mistakenly protecting her from the arrival of Nurse Mary and any outside help.
