If ever there was a holiday that deserves to be commercialized, it's Halloween. We haven't taken it away from kids. We've just expanded it so that the kid in adults can enjoy it, too.

More quotes by Cassandra Peterson
[Vincent Price] did Oscar Wilde on Broadway, and I think he probably did it because he was almost like an Oscar Wilde. He had that brilliant humor.
Cassandra Peterson
I chased every band around the world. Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention, you name it. I could just go on and on. It was my hobby, my pastime, and my obsession for several years.
Cassandra Peterson
People were really staying away from me. And that's kind of when I split up with all my best friends at school - they were going, Something's happened to her, she's totally weird - and found my new friends, who were Beatles fans.
Cassandra Peterson
I am very, very anti-slasher.
Cassandra Peterson
I can't tell you how exciting it was, because Vincent Price had made a huge impression on me when I was a little kid. I just loved him in films. And so meeting him and becoming friends with him was a big deal for me.
Cassandra Peterson
I always say there are no coincidences.
Cassandra Peterson
People come up to me at conventions and say, 'I was such an outcast, I felt like such a geek, and when I saw you, you made me feel like such a normal person.' It's my favorite thing to hear, because that's how I felt when I was a kid. If Goth would've been around, I would've definitely been Goth. But there wasn't such a thing, so I was just weird.
Cassandra Peterson
To me, the scariest movie ever made to this day is The Exorcist. It still scares the living hell out of me, and it’s because of the fantasy element. It’s the exorcism. It’s the Devil. It’s not a guy breaking into your house trying to torture you or cut your whatever off. Those kinds of movies don’t do it for me, and I don’t call them horror.
Cassandra Peterson
I would love to do something like 'Tosh.0,' where I host Internet clips. I did host 'Talk Soup,' which is similar. I love doing that, making fun of video clips on the Internet.
Cassandra Peterson
When I lived in Las Vegas, I was meeting everybody: Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones - we won't go there - but all these people that were working in Vegas a million years ago, way before I was Elvira.
Cassandra Peterson
Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.
Cassandra Peterson
I had this grand idea that Elvira's kind of the Santa Claus of Halloween - at the malls, you'd have an Elvira there. Girls would dress as Elvira just like guys dress as Santa Claus, and it's not the real thing, but they'll pose for pictures, sign autographs. Of course, I couldn't go around to every mall, so we'd have to get more Elviras.
Cassandra Peterson
I vaguely remember doing [all my] photo sessions, but definitely there were some surprises there for me.
Cassandra Peterson
One of the things that's kind of persistent is that I am the model on the cover of Tom Waits' album, Small Change.
Cassandra Peterson
I hate to sound cliché, but it would probably be the day my daughter was born. That was a pretty amazing experience.
Cassandra Peterson
At least I get my little black dress cleaned once in awhile.
Cassandra Peterson
There's a lot that I watch over and over. But I have to say, because of my line of work as a horror-movie hostess, I've probably seen Night Of The Living Dead more than any movie. I've probably seen it more than George A. Romero.
Cassandra Peterson
I love the old movies from my past, when I was growing up. I just have a special place in my heart for them. They kind of feel like comfort food to me, so watching them is just cozy and warm.
Cassandra Peterson
I believed that lemmings really jump off of cliffs.
Cassandra Peterson
Actually, when I was little I even dreamed about riding a black cat.
