Elvira Mistress of the Dark TAS?!

Elvira, whose real name is Cassandra Peterson, attended Boston Comic-Con earlier this month, where she told fans she's working on an animated series based on the Mistress Of The Dark, according to MassLive (via ihorror).

Peterson rose to fame in the 1980s hosting a Los Angeles weekend television show that presented horror movies. For Elvira's appearance and personality, Peterson chose to blend a sexy vampire look with a spunky and sarcastic "Valley Girl" attitude. It was a hit. Soon Elvira became a brand, her likeness being used for Halloween costumes, comic book, action figures, trading cards and much more.

Part of Elvira signature look is a black cleavage-enhancing gown, which she believes sends a positive and important message to women. "Just because you look sexy ... you don't have to be a bimbo," Peterson said. "You don't have to look like Margaret Thatcher to be a strong woman. Sorry, Margaret Thatcher!"http://comicbook.com/2015/08/17/elvira-animated-series-in-the-works/

Oh I am SOOOO going to watch this on whatever channel it is on.

Gotta love Elvira aka Cassandra Peterson for keeping horror movie hosts alive and going.

She should work out a deal with Funko.

I love that woman. Can't imagine her ever having a bad day.

When I was younger I had the poster of her in the corset on the lower half of my closet door, which put her eye to eye with my dog when he jumped up on my bed, and would freak him out. He stopped jumping up on my bed.

Never heard of her since the mid 80's when her motion picture company spammed us East Coasters with images of her to death.

To this day I remain loyal to our local cutie ---- Stella, the man-eater from Manayunk.

I'd watch it for sure, always been a big fan.

Oh man, "Saturday Night Dead"! I hadn't thought of that in YEARS. I was able to watch it once in a while circa the mid '80s, after my grandparents moved to south Jersey, where the Philly channels came in. The big local horror-fest in the NYC area where I grew up was "Chiller Theatre" on WPIX. The last great show in that vein was "MonsterVision" with Joe Bob Briggs in the mid/late '90s. Loved that one...

As for Elvira, I was never a huge fan, but I had those computer adventure games (where they basically just shoehorned her in there for titillation's sake) for the Amiga in the early '90s.

Neat! It would be cool if it was based on the first Elvira movie. It would be fun to see Uncle Vinnie and Gonk again.
