Happy Halloween, ghouls! We are officially at the end of the 13 Weeks of Halloween, and we at My Spooky Gay Family thought that the only way to celebrate was with a HUGE episode... so we are happy to share a very special interview with the Queen of Halloween, the star, heart, and legs behind Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark herself, Cassandra Peterson! In this episode, we chat with Cassandra about her new memoir, "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark". We chat about everything from coming out as queer, to living in a haunted house, to sharing a treehouse with a gun fanatic. It was a joy to chat with this amazing horror icon, and an interview you won't want to miss.
And as a very special added bonus, we went a step further and invited Sam Irvin, the director of Elvira's sophomore film, "Elvira's Haunted Hills", to stop by and chat about his career, his experience working with two of the biggest names in horror musical comedy, and what makes this movie the perfect cult classic to catch this Halloween as it's re-released on blu-ray!
Enjoy this Halloween episode, kids! These conversations were so much fun, and definitely two for the books.
