Cassandra Peterson (born September 17, 1951) is an American actress best known for her on-screen horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She gained fame on Los Angeles television station KHJ wearing a black, gothic, cleavage-enhancing gown as host of Movie Macabre, a weekly horror movie presentation.

“We all have our own scars. Let them be a blessing and not a curse.”
Cassandra Peterson, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark

“Y'know, I think I've learned something here today. I've learned that friendship is like cheese. The longer it sits around, the stronger it gets...and that, that...friends are like cheap toupees. You've gotta hang onto 'em when things get stormy. But most of all, I've learned that you can search and search the wide world over, but in the end, your own backyard is right...behind...your house.”
Cassandra Peterson, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark

“For so long, I’d believed I was doing the right thing by sticking out the marriage to keep our family together, but I finally realized that staying in such a dysfunctional relationship was worse than the alternative.”
Cassandra Peterson, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark
