## Caption

Cassandra Peterson — also known as therealelvira, Mistress of the Dark — grew up as a misfit kid with a bad perm, burn scars, and a mother who told her she’d never make it. Despite it all, she became a Las Vegas showgirl, a Groundling, a horror icon, and a beacon for weirdos everywhere. The “Martha Stewart of the Macabre” joins the latest episode of #TinfoilSwans to talk about her new cookbook, the cooking tip Vincent Price gave her, the advice she didn’t take from Elvis, and the power of entertaining to build community — even if it all goes hilariously wrong. Listen now at the link in bio and subscribe to keep up with the rest of the season 🎧.
