Twenty years ago, Cassandra Peterson would never have guessed that in 2002, she'd be starring in her second feature film as alter ego Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
According to Peterson, the physical transformation takes 90 minutes, from beginning to end, and "it never gets quicker." Elvira's poofy fl hair, skimpy fl dress and gravity-defying curves have likely sent pulses racing far more often than the B-grade horror films she is famed for hosting.
At just 3 years of age, little Cassandra was burned by an overturned pot of boiling Easter eggs, resulting in the fusion of her eyelids and loss of most of her hair.

Cassandra Peterson - the Mistress of the Dark
With such impressive vital statistics, it's unsurprising that Elvira has been involved in the pioneering of 3D television and movie media, beginning with an experimental broadcast in 1982, a year after her 'horror-hostess' was unleashed on the (let's face it, male)American public, and more recently, two IMAX films (see filmography below).

She's old enough to be my mom, yet like many guys, I fell in love (or would that be lust?) with Cassandra Peterson (better known as Elvira) almost from the moment I heard of her.
Even the VHS version has a post-movie featurette about its making, in which Cassandra (in her Elvira costume) notes how the plot loosely parallels her own life; I might add that the movie's ending is reminiscent of her Las Vegas showgirl days.

 dOc DVD Review: Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988)
With her all-fl wardrobe, dolled-up hair, and enormous...jokes, Elvira has carved herself a wonderful little niche that will sustain her creator, Cassandra Peterson, for as long as she's willing to put on the makeup.
Of course, the premise of "voluptuous vixen meets small-town America" is bound to be funny, but what really makes this movie work is Peterson's exquisite comic timing and her ability to say lines that would make other comedians cringe, and actually pull them off.
Of course, Peterson uses more than just sex jokes; she comes up with quick retorts to just about any comment, and isn't afraid to embarrass herself to get a good laugh.

As Cassandra Peterson's vampy Vampira alter ego, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, exhibits 20 years of polish and is enough of a personality to be credited "as herself."
