A Skintroduction to Mr Skin's Man in the Feels

Editor's Note: McBeardo is Mr Skin’s resident sexpert on weird, cult, fringe, midnight, underground and/or any other extreme form of skinema.

He reports from the frontlines and backrooms of most skintimidating screening halls on the planet – not the least of which is the place where he keeps his couch.

The opinions of McBeardo are not necessarily those of Mr Skin, MrSkin.com, or any related affiliates. The ideas as to what constitutes a “wild time” are definitely not Mr Skin’s, period.

Please click McBeardo's mitt on the magnifincent bosom on Nekromistress to go to the next page and read his first column.

Naturally voluptuous knockout Cassandra Peterson re-skinvented-herself as ghoulishly super-gazonged goth babe Elvira and debuted her creation via the late-night horror series Elvira’s Movie Macabre on this date in 1981.

After flirtations with Italian rock stardom and a stint in the comedy troupe The Groundlings, Peterson answered the call for a new horror hostess at Los Angeles’s channel 9, KHJ-TV.

Donning a black bouffant wig and a tight-fitting, super-low-cut black dress, Elvira sprawled out on a red Victorian count and lovingly wise-cracked her way through Movie Macabre’s crackpot cinematic offerings.

In short order, the show was syndicated, Elvira snagged all sorts of endorsement deals, two big-screen adventures ensued (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Elvira’s Haunted Hills) and Halloween was rendered forever hotter.

For a peek at Elvira’s naked pumpkins out of her costume, come along after the jump.
