Since I always go to work as Elvira, maybe a giant version of a cat. A black cat. I love cats and I think Elvira would look really good sitting on one.

Not a time with him passed that I didn't say, You should've been a comedian. [Vincent Price] was hilarious. He was just such a quick, funny wit. I don't think most people would think that about him, and it was really surprising to me. But man, the guy had a brilliant wit.

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.

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.

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.

The labor part wasn't so great, but seeing [my daughter] for the first time was pretty awesome. I mean, how does it get better than another actual person popping out of your stomach, you know?
Cassandra Peterson
Image
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.

I knew I would grow up and wear a costume one day, and that's exactly what happened.

Image
At least I get my little black dress cleaned once in awhile.

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.

I have a lot of good days I'd like to relive.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I remember the '60s, I remember the '80s, but somehow I went directly from the '60s to the '80s.

I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome.

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.

[Vincent Price] taught me how to cook fish in my dishwasher.
