Cassandra Peterson is the woman who originated the role of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. In the early 80s she hosted late-night horror movies on a Los Angeles TV station. From there her career launched as the spokeswoman for all things spooky and campy. She had her own TV show for a time and a merchandising blitz that covered everything from perfume to pinball machines.
The Elvira, Mistress of the Dark costume is one of the all-time best selling Halloween costumes for women.

I used to love to watch Elvira. Doesn't surprise me that it was such a popular costume

Yeah I know and isn't she cool! I am telling my age now aren't I ? LOL I used to own a video store when she first became popular and had a lifesize cardboard display that I used every Halloween to help promote the Horror Movie section and to dress the store up for Halloween.
Would you believe someone offered me $1,350.00 for that thing and it was old and sunfaded from 12 years of use in my store! Your question is did I take the money? NO ! It was a very dedicated customer of mine and I was closing the store anyway....that particular customer probably put enough money in my store in those 12 years to have already bought that thing 20 times.
Even us witches have a heart! LOL

She was in Philly tonight for the Halloween show...lol
