I am very, very anti-slasher.

I would just think that I would remember modeling for the cover of an album with Tom Waits, who I've always loved.

I remember the '60s, I remember the '80s, but somehow I went directly from the '60s to the '80s.

It's weird. I guess I got so used to [g-strings] when I was really young that I just couldn't stand it anymore.

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.

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.

Luckily, it's one of my favorite movies [ Night Of The Living Dead]. I never get tired of watching it.

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.

I always say there are no coincidences.
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
Image
Actually, when I was little I even dreamed about riding a black cat.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I hate to sound cliché, but it would probably be the day my daughter was born. That was a pretty amazing experience.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.
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 knew I would grow up and wear a costume one day, and that's exactly what happened.
Cassandra Peterson
Image
I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome.

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
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.

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.
