Quote

Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.

[Vincent Price] taught me how to cook fish in my dishwasher.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
Ive made a career off of Halloween.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
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
Image
Actually, when I was little I even dreamed about riding a black cat.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
When I was a kid, my favorite after-school snack was hominy and pickled pigs feet.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I remember the '60s, I remember the '80s, but somehow I went directly from the '60s to the '80s.

Image
If I retire doing the character, I don't think the character has to retire. There will still be caricatures of Elvira. You know, Dracula still works, and he's dead.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
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.

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.

Image
I believed that lemmings really jump off of cliffs.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I would just think that I would remember modeling for the cover of an album with Tom Waits, who I've always loved.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I think, cumulatively, I probably have done more photo sessions than just about everyone. Maybe as much as a supermodel. I know they model all the time, but have they done it for 35 years? I don't think so.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
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
Image
There are a lot of other movies I've done multiple times, like Werewolf Of Washington, where I really get tired of watching it.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I've probably said a million times in my life something about, All those people are just lemmings. They'd follow each other off a cliff. Well, no such thing.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
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
Image
At least I get my little black dress cleaned once in awhile.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I always say there are no coincidences.

Image
When I was Elvira, it was probably the phase of my hair getting too high. I thought that if really high hair was good, then really higher hair was even better. So I just started having my hair get higher and higher. In some of the pictures, we had to cut off the picture because it was like Marge Simpson. So that was embarrassing. The wig phase.

I vaguely remember doing [all my] photo sessions, but definitely there were some surprises there for me.
