Elvira is back on tv! She really is amazing looking, regardless of her age! A Syndicated show.... "Elvira's Movie Macabre".

Evidently a controversy, I'm going with that it is her. Opinions?

Well, there's no comprehensive answer even from Cassandra Peterson in this interview located at http://www.avclub.com/articles/elvir...ndising,34622/

CP: That is a giant mystery to me. [Laughs.] I don’t remember having done it. But of course, I don’t remember a lot of stuff I did in the ’70s. I went straight from the ’60s to the ’80s; I don’t know what happened to that decade. But it looks like me! I’ve stared at it really, really hard, and I’m pretty sure it’s me. I modeled for a lot of album covers, book covers, romance novels with Fabio kind of guys—I did all that stuff in the ’70s. But I don’t remember that one. It’s how I met Jack White from The White Stripes. He brought that album for me to sign, and I said, “I’m gonna tell you something really depressing—I don’t think it’s me.” Could be, though.

AVC: You’ve never reached out to Tom Waits to confirm it?

CP: Nope. I mean, who knows if he would remember that year either?

So if she can't even say whether its her or not can we avoid clogging up this thread with a lot of she is/is not back and forth?

She was at the Speedorama in Toronto in 1990.

I vote for: it's her!

Ok, here is the best of her "first" new show, that thank goodness they re-ran
I really, really like her hawking her Elvira website ...especially when she says you can navigate the site with only one hand!
How in the wide, wide world of sports can she be 59 years old????????
Go figure, recording everything EXACTLY the same way as before, this longer clip is about 40 less MB's than the first one I put up! Explain that one to me!

I agree about the nice Elvira figure. That's Chiodo Brothers work, by the way. Back in the 80s they were big in low-budget horror, doing the effects on Killer Klowns from Outer Space (their own movie) and the Critters series. Earlier this month they did a great job of turning the Simpsons characters into Muppet-style puppets for the show's Christmas episode.
