Elvira

There are two artists that go by the name Elvira. 1) Elvira is the personal project of Pitino Elvira, best known as the guitarist of Standstill. 2) Cassandra Peterson (born September 17, 1949) is an American actress best known for her on-screen horror host persona "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. Her wickedly vampish appearance was offset by her comical character, quick-witted personality, and Valley girl-type speech.
