She's so charismatic and engaging. And how on Earth is she 65 years old?!? Unreal. She looks twenty years younger.

I feel bad for her that they took huge advantage of her but it sounds like she won in the end. I love that she owned the character.

I was teased in school & called Elvira because I had long black hair & "developed" early. Back then, I didn't take it as a compliment. But now, hell yeah!!! Call me Elvira all you want!! LOL

Elvira needs her own sitcom like the munsters, come on Netflix!!!

Elvira is an icon for the very reason she tears up at fans support and love of her and the character. Outcasts will always keep integrity with their own, always remember their core and represent. She's a national treasure and still hot and sharp and sweet as she always seemed to be. And that tassel trick in her movie...emblazoned forever. Just love her. Our best ghoul-friend. 💖✨

I am Cassandra's age. I remember Vampira from old reruns. The Vampira show ran from April 30, 1954, through to April 2, 1955. One year! Elvira's TV hosting started in 1981 and Elvira is still going. Elvira is nothing like Vampira. Elvira is an original and she is a million times better than Vampira. Cassandra looks great for 65 years. Good one Cassandra. My daughter and I love Elvira. She is like the Gothic Girl Next Door. Love her humour.

Wow. Not a stuck up bone in her body. Very rare. Good for her.

Cassandra, you are, as always, wonderful. So many of these younger people don't remember life before MTV, but I remember it well. You are timeless, and the fact that you remain so sweet, humble, and kind after all you've been through is a testament to what a wonderful human being you are. My home continues to fill with all your awesome merchandise, and even now, I'm staying up late so I can order your Blu Ray DVD. My wife and I think you are wonderful, and although I will probably never meet you, I just wanted to say how much I love and adore you. Thank you, dear lady, for being you.

So warm, kind, and amusing - LOVE Cassandra Peterson!

Always loved her shows. Boy I am only 61 and she puts me all to shame would never think she was 65! Love her honesty and humble personality.

I’m glad to hear she has control over her own character. Because so many people in show business are cheated out money and credit for their creation.

I fucking love her. I wish she would release a memoir. I'm definitely getting her new book for sure.

She is just an awesome person! totally genuine

I still watch "Elvira Mistress of the Dark" movie every year. It is hilarious.

Dose anyone remember a tv 79's-80's show called Movie Macob. I want to say at one time Cassandra Peterson, A.K.A. Elvira Mistress Of The Dark. Was the host of the show as The one and only Elvira Mistress Of The Dark. They would show old horror movies. I was a little boy back then. But I remember like it was Yesterday. Me and my Mom and Dad every Saturday night would make popcorn and whatch Elvira. Man I Miss My Mom and Dad. Great memories.

Its unbelievable...this woman is still GORGEOUS!!!!!! I tell you she refuses to age! I have always LOVED and LIVED ELvira...one of the coolest characters of all time. I can remember loving the Mistress of The Dark movie as a kid and they would show it every Halloween though they cut alot of parts out...which as a kid I didnt know until I got older and bought the actual movie. I will always love you Cassandra...thank you for giving us all ELVIRA!

Legend. She made my childhood and adolescence, Saturday nights on KHJ channel 9.

Vampira came to the screen in 1951 when Elvira was born. Elvira came to the screen in 1981, when I was born =D

Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira mistress of the dark looks absolutely stunning after all these years!!!😍

I think I'm more in love with Cassandra Peterson than I am with Elvira. I am so melting just watching her.

I was very fortunate to see her in person three times, during performances she had done at Knott's Scary Farm in 1973, '74 and '75. She sang and told jokes. I even have a pillow case souvenir with a silk screened photo of her in a reclined position. Boy, does she looked great!! When I first saw her on TV, I fell in love!! And from then on, she was my girl! At her present age, she still looks beautiful!! I'm still in love!! Elvira...Elvira!

She is not only beautiful inside and out but her vibe and charisma are like the vitality of life. Amazing one of a kind special lady.

THIS IS SO COOOOL! Thank yoooouuuu!!

Something falls off a ladder she is passing, hitting her on the head... Man: “How’s your head?” He asks with concern. Elvira: “Nobody’s ever complained.” You’ll never hear things like that today without shrieking protesting mobs forming.

Apparently her husband is Mark Pierson. Producer/director that was heavily involved with Cassanda's/Elvira's career. Good to see them keeping it in the family. I can't even imagine how delightful it be to come home to a woman like Cassandra Peterson everyday. What a lucky man Mr. Pierson truly is. Some women are born, live and die, being indescribably beautiful.

she stepped on my foot at an appearance at KEZY. greatest moment of my life

Love, love, love Cassandra! She' rocks!

I adore this woman! So inspirational and a wonderful disposition! Reign on Elvira! Reign on!💋🤘🏽💋

valley girl horror hostess. a perfect match that only cassandra could turn into something so brilliant!

Great interview! She's intelligent, articulate and funny! Love it!

Holy shit..driving in ND during blizzards is no joke, at 14 no less! Her story is impressive, she proved herself time and time again. Also, for a 68 year old, shes more coherent, expressive and intelligent than 90 percent of the population, including people less than half her age! Shes a goddamned national treasure! HAVE A SEXY SMART HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

how enchanting. this is all woven in my past. im so glad she is well and centered.

I’m 43 and I’m still in love with Elvira!😍

She doesn't look 65 years old!

she's still flawless...and i so wanted her thunderbird from the movie god i loved that movie as a kid probably too much

She is as charming and effervescent as ever in this interview. Kudos to her and her long lived success as Elvira. Well-deserved!

Thank you for posting this!!!! Elvira is still amazing after all these years!!! :)

There is ONLY one!!! I saw here this year at Knott's and I just about passed out with joy. She is incredible. I'd go again if the traffic wasn't so awful 5 hours in the car sucked but MAN was she worth it

"Elvira's Haunted Hills" is a campy favorite. I have the DVD around somewhere.

Finally, someone on the Web who seems to understand the acronym AKA. You get an upvote just for that!

I "LOVE CASSANDRA'. She is so REAL and Humble. I was amazed with all she did before Elvira showed up. But, 'RED HAIR', I would have never thought !!

Her personality is even more beautiful than her exterior.

What is this woman's secret. She looks fantastic

She gives an interesting & fun interview, I can tell from the way she talks cassandra is a highly intelligent person. She's more than just Elvira. But she's cool about how she's mostly known for playing that character. I love actors or actresses who are real & humble . much love.

She's the BEST!!!!!! Elvira for president!

Such a down to earth Lady. Wonderful interview.

Happy birthday dear lady. Okay, so I'm a day early. Over the last year I've become a huge Cassandra Peterson fan. I'm fascinated by Cassandra, her life's story, the challenges she's overcome, and her ability to remain such a remarkably humble human being. I'm not really an Elvira fan, nor am I into horror or goth, and I'm not gay. I simply find her amazing. She's become a source of inspiration. I honestly believe this woman has a heart of gold.

i always loved elvira ,cassandra still looks amazing

wow this is in the realm of inspirational

How does this video have any thumbs down?....How? Cassandra is a one of a kind, a national treasure and after 30+yrs still my crush. Thank you so much for being a part of my life!

I had no idea Mistress of the Dark had been pulled from theatres. I feel so lucky to have seen it on the big screen in Toronto. My parents refused to take me to it, and the lady who was boarding with us took me to the matinee. We had so much fun. I loved it so much I dragged my mother to it a few days later and there were numerous things in it that horrified her, but it didn't dull my appreciation. It did inspire a spontaneous history lesson about the witch trials from my lovely mother who also could not stop shuddering about the sausage joke. Although a comedy, for me I found the dream sequence very spiritual and inspiring. I think it spoke to a magical part of me that wanted to rebel against suburban mundania. I loved her brand of sort of, kind hearted defiance.

I met her at Boston Comic Con a few years ago. Just as I got up to her Robin Lord Taylor who was at the both next to hers stopped his line and came over and totally geeked out over her. It was a great moment. She was very nice and spent a few minutes with each person.

she looks fantastic!

I discovered "Elvira" way back when like so many of us...and she is definitely a favorite character...and I do enjoy "Cassy P " too...quite a lovely person on her own...very much a fascinating person in her own right...she made her own luck!

OMMMMFFGGGGG ANIMATEDDDD ELVIRA THANK YOU SOOOOO SOOO MUCHHHH

I saw her film at a theatre at SEATAC the week it launched...though they scheduled it wrong in paper...so I saw most of it the first time..then got to watch the whole thing again. Loved it then..still love it. Cassie is so amazing. Got to meet her in person in LA...and I never laughed so much iver silly commentary. Gawds I miss that.

The first time I saw Elvira was on a show called "Real People" where they interviewed her and she showed how she "put on her face" as Elvira. Absolutely love her. And I have her movie, my husband watches it every so often, when he wants to see a great funny movie.

Gotta Love Elvira (Cassandra). My very favorite mistress of the dark.

Just absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! Beautiful human being!

There will NEVER be another Elvira, ever! No one else could pull that off. I hope they never really try that. That would be like some one else trying to be Frank Sinatra. It would never work, you can't be some one else.

How studios have passed on her scripts and movie and TV potential is absolutely stunning ti me! What a legendary, unique talent! Glad she owns her character!

This guy’s voice is so high pitch :) take it down a notch.

Elvira is smart. Cassandra is smart. I love her.😍❤️😎🖤🌟⚡️🌞

I'm watching her Mistress of the Dark movie while watching this boy interview a Real Woman.

Awesome interview! I LOOOOVE Cassandra "Elvira"!!!!!

Elvira Mistress of the Dark is one of my favorite movies of all time! Didn't know the history of the movie, but I think that there are many of us that worship that movie. It may underperformed in theaters, but at least I am watching ti at least once a year

Still have a full beer bottle from your Elvira Night brew I saved . Get a kick out of the description on bottle of Full Bodied flavor.

Every time I hear the elvira opening music it takes me back to my childhood ❤

I spent the day photographing her at the PX at Fort Hood. She was very gracious.

She seems so genuine and down to earth

She's the kind of down to earth person I enjoy hearing talking and she's confident enough to admit businesses DID revolve around her appearance in the past

"Elvira", you never get old!, always adorable and funny!, love you!, still have the paperback book you signed for me!

Very classy and timeless. Whatever she uses on her skin it works BIG TIME. Amazing looks.

Out and proud and iconic more than ever !!!

I grew up watching the antics of one of the great horror movie hosts, the late John Zacherle. I was fortunate to meet Zacherle several times and he was one of the nicest personalities I ever met, a genuine gentleman. When Elvira came along in the 80's I became a fan of her humor and sexiness. And the first time I saw her as Cassandra Peterson without the Elvira makeup and costume I was amazed at how pretty she was, genuinely pretty in such a natural way. The icing on the cake is that she is also very intelligent, witty and personable. I am glad that her career has been so successful despite over the years, she deserves it. The interview briefly touches on the character Vampira portrayed by Maila Nurmi in Los Angeles in the mid 1950's. She was probably one of the first horror movio hosts if not the first and certainly the first female horror movie host on TV. Vampira did sue Elvira unsuccessfully in the 1980's. In my opinion she should have won. Not that I bear any ill will against Elvira but I do think there were legitimate legal issues. If you would like to know more about Vampira there are clips of "Vampira and Me" on KZfaq or if you have Amazon Prime you can currently watch it there for free. What I find interesting are the similarities between Vampira and Elvira not just in that they were both female horror hosts wearing sexy black costumes but that they were/are both very intelligent likable women. Also interesting is that while Maila Nurmi owned the Vampira character her show was cancelled by ABC when she refused to sell the successful character to them. Later on in the 80 's when some people approached her about recreating the Vampira character she had creative differences with them and the project fell apart but out of it came the Elvira character. And when Cassandra Peterson assumed the role of Elvira they paid her only $300. a week and there was not much she could do about it because she did NOT own the character. Fortunately her financial situation improved with time. Maila Nurmi lived her life mostly in poverty. "Vampira and Me" shows Maila Nurmi near the end of her life. It's a very interesting story. I also recommend taking a look at "Morticia, Vampira & Elvira" on KZfaq if the above interests you.

that's a beautiful woman.

saw her show in 2013 and she looked so great! was like how is that possible!

Much respect in many ways, from Sharon, a long-time fan.

In the late 80s I met Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira she was being interviewed by the San Diego Tribune about the Comic Con. She was so nice and charming and to my surprise a redhead.

God Bless this gorgeous Queen. Keep doing what you do love.

Her personality and humor are first class!

She is solid gold. Great interview!

Just watched Elvira : Mistress of the Dark. Miss the 80s. Elvira is definitely a part of those memories. Would watch her show (as I'm sure all young boys did) and Domino's pizza nights. Haha Love her silliness and beauty. And from this interview - her as a person. Very welcoming and so much of a life lived. Did she ever write a book?

Does this guy shout all of the time or just when he's holding a microphone?

Still beautiful and cannot be replaced, one of a kind. You can’t replicate personality and sense of humor. Love her. 😬

imagine pee wee and elvira in the same movie. Both universes collide

Her story is so fascinating. She was in Las Vegas with Elvis, it’s mad. She has rights for her brand-It’s great!

She is quite nice to talk to, and we will miss Elvira, Cassandra you made Elvira so lovable

thank you for sharing! I want to get the book!

this was awesome and kinda sweet, I love Elvira :)

I actually met Elvira!! She was so super nice!!!

You're Brilliant! Dont let anyone tell you otherwise!

She said, she was born in 1951. That makes her 67yrs old. I love El Vira, she's so all around inside and out, beautiful, down to earth, woman.

Love her so much-!!!

Cassandra is beautiful , timeless, and a great comedian, I love her

She is still like WOW at 65

Aged like a fine wine 😍😍

I always heard about Elvira but unfortunately growing up in central Indiana she wasn't on in my area so I never got to watch her show,but we did however have our own horror program out of Indianapolis originally called Shock Theater that ran from 1962 to 1989 and showed the old black n white Universal horror movies and many others with a double feature every friday night from 11:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M. which was hosted by a goul who went by the name of Sammy Terry who had this really creepy laugh,and I also remember the actor who played Grandpa Munster hosting a horror movie show back in the 1990's.

Wow she looks amazing!!

I'd love your show to come back
