Overview
Stream on
An All Hallows Eve presentation of GSN's Game Show Saturday Night broadcast on 28 October 2000. Elvira, the Queen of Halloween, gravely unearths the dead-before-arrival game show pilots Cop Out, The $10,000 Sweep, Twisters and The Riddlers for a bewitching programming trick. Clad in her signature "little black dress," Elvira introduces each pilot and teases viewers with a trivia question before fading into the night. After each show, she mysteriously reappears to reveal the answer.
