The Pull List – Elvira: The Shape of Elvira #3
Elvira’s movie career takes a turn when two agents from the U.S Fish and Wildlife Department appear. Agents Roberts and Polito have a few questions for the rising starlet, particularly about her aquatic costar Gill. The agents explain that Gill is not a person in a latex costume, but an actual creature from the Amazon. Although Elvira has seen weird stuff before, she isn’t going to just take the word of two agents in black without question. Elvira digs for answers, unaware of the danger that waits behind the scenes.
