So who is really Elvira. In real life, she is played by Cassandra Peterson, an actress who was the host of a local Los Angeles TV show called “Movie Macabre“, which was a weekly horror movie series. It is there that she donned her long, alluring black gown as she introduced each movie and made funny quips during breaks. Ms. Peterson was born in Manhattan, Kansas, but her family later moved to Colorado Springs. After graduating from high school, Ms. Peterson left for the big city, Las Vegas, and became one of the youngest showgirls in history. In addition to being a showgirl and an actress, Ms. Peterson is also a singer and was the lead singer of the group Latins Ochanats.
The Elvira franchise grew enormously as there were a flood of Elvira video games, movies, costumes and other Elvira merchandise that flooded the market. We all know that imitation is a form of flattery, and you know you have made it when there are scores of Elvira impersonators. Ms. Peterson is still very active as she makes appearances all over the country and around the globe. However, we still enjoy the image she created, that Valley girl persona we know as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

And the Mistress of the Dark still looks good these days. Check out the Elvira Knott’s Scary Farm show from last year!
