Still Sexy and Funny: After 35 Years, Horror and Past Video Game Icon, Elvira “Returns”!

MOVIE NEWS – Well… not in the way you have expected her to do so…

Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) is still sexy, beautiful and funny at the age of 67, as you can see it in this advert for the Funko’s cereal that comes in several flavors, all with an exciting Pop toy hidden at the bottom. Yes, it’s edible. Yes, it’s delicious. And yes, Elvira has her own flavor. Now, the Mistress of the Dark has returned to sell her delicious Hot Topic Funkos in a new commercial that you might only ever see on Saturday morning.

The Elvira horror comedy movies, TV shows and other appearances were always acted and hosted by Cassandra Peterson (born September 17, 1951) an American actress who played the horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She gained fame on Los Angeles television station KHJ-TV wearing a revealing, black, gothic, cleavage-enhancing gown as host of Elvira’s Movie Macabre, a weekly horror movie presentation. Her wickedly vampish appearance is offset by her comical character, quirky and quick-witted personality, and Valley girl-type speech.

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark was also a survival horror video game developed by Horror Soft and released by Accolade in 1990 for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and MS-DOS computers. It was Horror Soft’s second published game after 1989’s Personal Nightmare and stars the actress Cassandra Peterson as her character Elvira the witch.

In Mistress of the Dark, Elvira is held captive by dark forces in the castle of her ancestor, Lady Emelda. The player’s character is to enter the castle to rescue Elvira and prevent the imminent return of the long-dead evil sorceress. The well-received game was followed by Elvira II: The Jaws of Cerberus in 1991 and the spiritual successor Waxworks in 1992.

Elvira has had a big presence this Halloween, still, it may be a little more subtle than her horror counterparts. We haven’t really seen her on the big or small screen much in recent years, so watching her hock breakfast cereal with her trademark snark firmly in place is a lot of fun. Selling them on her Twitter, the late-night horror hostess offers this.

On the other hand, Elvira is a timeless beauty, which makes you wonder what might be exactly is in this cereal?
