In February, Cassandra Peterson sat down with Bloody Disgusting’s Shelby Novak (of Scare You to Sleep) and Michael Roffman (of Halloweenies) at Creep I.E. Con V to discuss her inimitable career.
Now, you can watch the full panel below.
For a little under an hour, the Mistress of the Dark shares spooky ghost stories involving her former Los Angeles home, revisits her days as a showgirl in the real Las Vegas, charts the rise of horror conventions, and compares Beatlemania to Horrormania.
Peterson also weighs in on how she’s kept the Elvira brand alive for nearly half a century, feats she previously expanded upon in her excellent memoir, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark. One of our favorite books of 2021, it’s an essential read.
