- jeremy.g57February 8, 2025One of my favorites! Cassandra Peterson doing what she does best!!!
- AdamFebruary 1, 2025Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is a timeless icon of camp, horror, and unapologetic sass, brought to life by the incomparable Cassandra Peterson. With her vampy glamour, razor-sharp wit, and fearless embrace of individuality, Elvira has become a beloved gay icon, inspiring the LGBTQ+ community with her confidence, humor, and unshakable self-love. Cassandra’s creation is more than a character—she’s a symbol of liberation, empowerment, and joy, solidifying her place as a true legend in queer culture. Long live the Mistress of the Dark!
- Jovon VillarasaOctober 2, 2025What a baddie. Honestly way funnier than I expected! Peak camp horror-comedy. Simple plot, but you’re really just here for Elvira, her shenanigans and the way she bounces off everyone around her. I love that she’s unapologetically herself. You can see the goth and drag aesthetics that spun out of this movie and it makes sense why she became such a gay horror queen icon. Elvira carries the whole thing and she knows it.
