Can Anyone Replace The Mistress Of The Dark?
April 10th, 2008 by GiGiCan Anyone Replace The Mistress Of The Dark?
Some time ago Cassandra Peterson who has made the “Mistess of the Dark” a much loved character, was quoted as saying….”If I retire doing the character, I don’t think the character has to retire. There will still be caricatures of Elvira. You know, Dracula still works, and he’s dead.”
Well it appears that Cassandra Peterson, who created the much loved “Elvira” over 25 years ago, are teaming up with Weakest Link and #American Idol[/tag] producers to pitch a project featuring contestants competing for a one-year contract to portray the character in various personal appearances.
The contestants would be put through elimination challenges designed to parody some of the most popular reality shows but with a macabre twist, with Peterson (in character) serving as a sort of mentor — or “tormentor,” as she puts it — and judges making the final determination on who gets eliminated.
I’m wondering if I can get my hair long enough to sport a beehive hairdo?
