When I was all of 12-years-old I can remember watching the cult classic Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark (1988) and being thoroughly impressed by this woman’s “no fear” attitude. Nothing was taboo, nothing was too risqué, and nothing was off the table. For a little repressed boy growing up deep in the small town hillbilly territory of the Ottawa Valley, it was the most refreshing thing in the Universe. Turns out I had a little bit in common with the film’s now iconic star, Cassandra Peterson, who also grew up in a small town, albeit much further away in the farm land of Manhattan, Kansas. Fast forward decades later and Peterson is still darker and better than ever at a gorgeous 62-years-old. Peterson recently sat down (in a car) for an interview with the world’s most famous drag queen, RuPaul, for a revealing conversation and you can watch it in full above.
