The word Halloween is synonymous with three things: sheets with holes cut into them, candy corn that tastes neither like candy nor corn and, of course... Elvira®, Mistress of the Dark.? In 1981 the B-movie queen (played to perfection by Cassandra Peterson) began her campaign to bring only the very best - and worst - of shlock cinema to audiences. The result was Elvira's® Movie Macabre, a television series that featured a different film, infused with Elvira's® own twist of humor and innuendo, each week. The series lasted five years and made Elvira® the first nationally syndicated horror show hostess to ever hit the airwaves. Not to mention the sexiest Halloween icon since Frankenstein's bride!
