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.

They were (and remain) creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky, and altogether ooky, and the TV adaptation of Charles Addams’ deliciously ghoulish cartoon characters The Addams Family debuted on ABC on this date in 1964.

Over on CBS, the Addams’ coffin-cousins The Munsters would premiere six days later, but only one of these screamingly beloved fright-coms contained a role that was destined to be played by actresses who, later on, loved to take their clothes off.

That gateway to grown-up flesh was the character of little Wednesday Addams.

On TV, Lisa Loring portrayed Wednesday (middle name: Thursday). In 1988, Lisa got all hot and naked in the thriller Iced.

In the ’90s Christina Ricci played death-moppet Wednesday in two big-screen Addams Family adventures, and she subsequently went on to bust out her topless jack-o-lanterns in Prozac Nation and Black Snake Moan.

So here’s to Wednesday Addams, and the actresses who brought that proto-goth-chicklet to life. Long may they make us Lurch. And to see these glamour-ghouls all grown-up -- and out -- join us after the jump.

With entrancing eyes, luminous skin, a lithe ballerina’s form, and an air of haunting sensuality naturally her own, gorgeous Goth icon Soldedad Miranda rose quickly to skinternational sex symbol status in a series of now-revered cult favorites.

And then, as only good things awaited the central figure of Vampyros Lesbos and Eugenie de Sade, fate snatched her from us and left a hole in exotic, erotic cinema that no other siren could possibly ever fill.

Soledad Miranda was tragically killed in a car accident on this date in 1970. She was 27 years old.

Nakedly celebrate Soledad’s life and lust with Mr. Skin after the jump.

Immortal Sex and Beauty Icon Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, Took Her Own Life by Applying a Venomous Snake to Her Breast on This Date, 2,038 Years Ago.

Her rule of ancient Egypt is legendary.

She provided a signature role for screen vamps Theda Bara and Elizabeth Taylor.

She has served as the subject of numerous highbrow and lowbrow films alike.

And she laid down some of the most crucial cornerstones of goth-girl culture.

For those reasons, among others, Cleopatra lives on as one of humanity's -- and, especially, Hollywood's -- truly timeless glamor goddesses.
