Watch This Thing - A fake Elvira hawks for a Milwaukee-area party store chain in 1985



In 1985, Elvira's "Movie Macabre" was a staple of Saturday evening entertainment for the young kids of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, so it's only natural that a local chain of party supply stores would want to use her to sell their stuff.  Or, if not the actual Cassandra Peterson, at least someone posing as the Mistress of the Dark.  Did they sue over this?

Update from the real deal!

Elvira has confirmed that this was, in fact, the winner of an area Elvira look-a-like contest!  Thanks, Mistress, but you should know (and reality show experience should suggest) that nobody could truly replace you!
