It’s our favorite time of year, Halloween season, and with that always comes plenty of sighting of our favorite Mistress of the Dark, Elvira. Here’s Cassandra Peterson during her first decade dressing up as the sexiest creature of the night the world has ever known. Many of these volcanically hot shots come from Cassandra’s first few years donning the iconic getup.

I met Cassandra just over a year ago at a horror convention and, let me tell you, up close she is as stunning as ever. She turned 73 last month. Looking at these early ‘80s pictures and realizing she still looks this good, it’s hard to believe the woman isn’t immortal.
