I’m a day late, but a warm Happy Birthday to Cassandra Peterson, aka Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, who turned 63 years gorgeous yesterday.
I remember catching her show while in college in the mid-1980’s in Boston on Saturday nights, and it was a blast. I want to say it was on channel 38, which was also noted for its weekly classic movie show, “The Movie Vault”.
And, in honor of the occasion, a sneak preview of my special Halloween coverage! A mouldy oldy from the grooveyard of forgotten hits. 🙂
I met her at Comic con in NOLA a few years back. Truly a great show woman. My love of Elvira goes far back when I was a small child, getting in trouble for sneaking to the television late at night to watch horror movies, Dean Cain as the werewolf of Washington, or Eegah the caveman. I for one have an alter to the devine cassandra as she is my earthbound goddess.
