House on Haunted Hill started her horror obsession In celebration of her enduring and fascinating career, here are 10 things you might not have known about the Mistress of the Dark: Between that fearlessness and her love of horror, it’s easy to see why she’s become an idol of many. She never conforms to expectations and isn’t afraid to be herself. The character of Elvira is the perfect contradiction that only someone of Peterson’s wit and grace could accomplish the sexy vixen with the valley girl’s cadence and buxom curves that belies a strong, independent woman beneath. With an autobiography and animated series in the works, Elvira won’t be retiring anytime soon, even though Peterson promises she will every few years or so. Last year saw Elvira’s appearance at the seasonal Halloween event take a final bow, though it by no means signals that Elvira’s hanging up her wig. For over three decades the Elvira brand has been responsible for numerous films, TV appearances, commercials, specials, and endless merchandising, including yearly live shows at Knott’s Scary Farm since 1982. From that fateful audition for a role as a horror hostess on a local Los Angeles television station in 1981, Cassandra Peterson’s alter ego quickly rose to become an international pop-culture phenomenon synonymous with Halloween and the double entendre.
