To celebrate this unique and beloved performer, we offer up some personal trivia about Cassandra Peterson and the character she created. Elvira is, without a doubt, the single most famous horror host in history. fame expanded to the entire country and, in fact, the whole world. Her penchant for double entendres - coupled with witty commentary on the films she showed - made watching the newly-titled Movie Macabre a must. Known for a cleavage-revealing black gown, a dark wig, and a sarcastic sense of humor, Elvira quickly became a hit. Given free rein to create her own character, she devised Elvira. Peterson, who was once a member of the comedy troupe the Groundlings alongside former Saturday Night Live star Phil Hartman, landed the gig. An audition was held to find a new host for their late night weekend horror show Fright Night following the death of original host Larry Vincent. The creation of actress/comedienne Cassandra Peterson, the so-called "Mistress of the Dark", was born on Los Angeles television station KHJ back in the early '80s. If you're making a list of notable horror figures in pop culture, Elvira absolutely must be on that list. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book’s magic lies in Nezhukumatathil’s ability to blend personal and natural history, to compress into each brief essay the relationship between a biographical passage from her own family and the life trajectory of a particular plant or animal. Bonnet macaques, whale sharks, monarch butterflies and more. Nakamura’s paintings form wreaths of the flora and fauna Nezhukumatathil celebrates in these brief, gemlike essays - catalpa trees. Its words are beautiful, but its cover and interior illustrations by Fumi Mini Nakamura may well be what first moves you to pick it up in a bookstore or online. “World of Wonders,” American poet and teacher Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s prose ode to her muses in the natural world, is a throwback that way. In days of old, books about nature were often as treasured for their illustrations as they were for their words. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though the friends worry about Debbie's reaction to Evra's differences they shouldn't. Then he meets the charmingly forward Debbie Hemlock, and they go on a date to the movies. Christmas is coming and Darren looks forward to a hotel celebration of the holiday. as Darren says about full vampires ' You could fill a book with all the stuff I know nothing about.'Īs a result of the General's visit, Larten Crepsley leaves on a mission to the city, and Darren and Evra (his snake is in winter hibernation) tag along on vacation. ![]() ![]() Darren hangs out with his best friend, scaled snake-boy Evra, and we finally meet a Vampire General and learn, along with Darren, just a little bit about the dangerous world of the vampire community. We see him (in his ' colorful pirate costume') doing chores at the Cirque - gathering vittles (dead fox and rats) for Lefty and the other Little People, and filling in for Mr. In this third of the series, Darren has settled into the life of a vampire's assistant. I know Darren says garlic is no good against vampires but, after all, it can't hurt, can it? I settled down to read, with a black cat in lap and a bunch of garlic at hand. My eleven-year-old son had already declared this one the best yet so I prepared myself carefully for it. What a promising title, even more so than Cirque Du Freak or The Vampire's Assistant, the first two tales in Darren Shan's spooky saga. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman trapped between her role as her alcoholic father’s caretaker in a home whose squalor is the talk of the neighborhood and a day job as a secretary at the boys’ prison, filled with its own quotidian horrors. In a week, I would run away from home and never go back. Delvin Moorehead was a terrible landlord I had years later, and so to use his name for such a place feels appropriate. I think of it now as what it really was for all intents and purposes-a prison for boys. I was twenty-four years old then, and had a job that paid fifty-seven dollars a week as a kind of secretary at a private juvenile correctional facility for teenage boys. ![]() Shortlisted for the 2016 Man Booker Prize and chosen by David Sedaris as his recommended book for his Fall 2016 tour. ![]() |
