I was originally going to just make her shoulders and face to re-create the movie poster as part of my "Flashback Series", but I really liked how the rest of her came along, so I went ahead and made the entire body and accessories.

The iconic character of Elvira that is played by the forever gorgeous Cassandra Peterson is a nice bit of 80's nostalgia and always sets the mood for Halloween, among other things..

I remember first watching her 1988 movie with my family at my Grandmother's house after it came out on video. I couldn't have been more than 6 or 7. I thought it was funny, but I was still young enough to be spooked by the jump scenes with the withered old woman and the creature from the cooking pot. Needless to say I never forgot her, and many years later I was pleased when I found out who she really was and that she was an all-natural redhead.....
