The follow up to Monster Hits, Revenge of the Monster hits does not have the same complete appeal. Several tunes are just not enjoyable, Attack of the 50 foot woman, Weird Science and Zombie Stomp. The others are great and Elvira's own Haunted House has the potential of being a great Halloween single if Rhino would market it as such. My advice for volume 3 which the first album states is coming, remix haunted house remove the corny talking ending, and have Elvira cover "I put a Spell on You" Until then, Unpleasant dreams.

Elvira Presents: Revenge of the Monster Hits is twenty-seven minutes and six seconds long and was released on August 29, 1995. There are only seven songs on this CD. Track one is an introduction to what's on this CD and track nine is Elvira wishing you a spooky Halloween. Elvira does sings on two of these tracks and she has a pleasant voice. The songs I believe are done by the original artists. I will not recommend for or against this CD. The potential buyer is going have to decide for their self. Elvira Presents: Revenge of the Monster Hits gets a C.

We have 3 of the 'Elvira' collections & our favorites are Haunted Hits & Revenge of Monster Hits. The light-hearted songs have been great background music at our Halloween parties & while decorating.

We like Revenge of the Monster Hits the best but enjoy the tremendous variety of songs on Haunted Hits.

I don't disagree with other reviewers regarding the songs on this CD or Elvira's cheesy commentary. However, year after year this CD puts me in the mood for decorating and the party more than the others we've bought. We use the Martha Stewart Spooky Scary sounds to pipe outside but its not really fun to listen to...

I have purchased this CD twice now. We purchased it years ago, before Hurricane Katrina. We lost our house, and possessions, in Katrina but my boys, now older, never forgot this album. It has some hip, good songs. Many are funny. The songs by Elvira are the best. Recommended.

Overall, the two elvi in this production are not bad to look at but Elvira is rather sparse with this disc. The selections are no more than ordinary but just owning something performed by this creature of the night is satisfying.
