A request for Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Vampira (from Plan 9 from Outer Space!) are outdone and locked away in the nightclub's closet by La Raven. Here's a bit of background on the kind of obscure La Raven character:

Sometime during the 90's, HBO contacted Ralph Bakshi (guy who created/directed Cool World, Fire and Ice, Lord of the Rings: the Hobbit, Wizards, Hey Good Lookin, etc) to make an animated series for them. The show that Ralph made for them was Spicy City and La Raven was the hostess... Think Elvira's movie macabre but more exotic. It beat South park to the line on being the first adult cartoon on TV. The show was given mixed reviews and was offered a second season. But for some reason, HBO network wanted to fire Bakshi's writing team and hire professional Los Angeles screenwriters. When Bakshi refused to cooperate with the network, the series was cancelled and a second season was abandoned. There have been only 6 episodes.

The only place you can see Spicy City is on Youtube. There was never a VHS or DVD release.
