There’s too much to love about Elvira (aka Cassandra Peterson), so we’re focusing on two big things: her movies Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and its follow-up, Elvira’s Haunted Hills! Noah and Eliza analyse the iconic horror host’s persona—draggy camp, corny comedy and showgirl glam in one bodacious package. Then, it’s time to compare Elvira’s first fish-out-of-water film vehicle with its troubled sequel, with tidbits from Peterson’s memoir Yours Cruelly, Elvira sprinkled in for context.

Despite her goth babe appearance, Elvira is an infectiously bubbly and light character in horror culture, and we’re TITillated to keep you aBREAST of her adventures on the big screen! We just ask that you remember her by two simple words…any two words, as long as they’re simple.
