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?

I hate to sound cliché, but it would probably be the day my daughter was born. That was a pretty amazing experience.

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

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.

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

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.

One of the things that's kind of persistent is that I am the model on the cover of Tom Waits' album, Small Change.

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

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

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.

When I was a kid, my favorite after-school snack was hominy and pickled pigs feet.

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

There are a lot of other movies I've done multiple times, like Werewolf Of Washington, where I really get tired of watching it.

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 was probably about 13 or 14, and I went by myself to the City Auditorium in Colorado Springs and saw the guy who wrote and sang Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini. Brian something. And I got to meet him and he signed an autograph for me, a little piece of paper. Brian Hyland! It was so bizarre.

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.

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.

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