Is this one of her first appearances? She looks super 80's here. Looks to appear to be one of her first incarnations.

@Ulalafanboy, no I believe she had appeared on The Tonight Show before this with Johnny Carson but that's a sketchy memory so I could be wrong. She'd been appearing in many formats from 1980-ish onward. I was at one of her first appearances at a USC all night movie-a-thon during her first season on Movie Macabre. Her costume was so cheap (probably thanks to KHJ-9) it looked like it came from the Halloween shop at Sears. By this time she's stylin' and ridin' high. :)

Thanks for uploading this. Cassandra Peterson as Elvira sitting and talking next to Vincent Price on Halloween Night 1986. Very nice watching this.

By 1988, Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) signed with NBC to develop several projects, as well as make guest appearances on a Bob Hope special and a "MAGICAL WORLD OF DISNEY" hour {somewhat akin to adding Tabasco sauce on corn flakes). All that ever really came out of that deal was her theatrical feature film, co-produced by NBC. Today, she's back in syndication, with a new series of "Movie Macabre".

Thanks for the extra info. I've run a site on Local LA tv hosts since 1996 called Local Legends-- check out the Elvira page (if the link works--lol) I think you might enjoy it.

David Brenner is a terrible host, but it's interesting to see Cassandra Peterson and Vincent Price on camera together. Peterson just dominates the interview and Brenner can only stutter and laugh.

[MikeAM78]

Vincent Price and Elvira together. That is just awesome!

[Yuurei21]

Nothing funnier than hearing Vincent Price saying, "Poe Bitches"

[fromthesidelines]

That's correct, 'Tangible'- and I know, because I saw both of those appearances. Apparently, NBC told her, "NO cleavage at 7pm Sunday night"!.

[TangibleDreamsEnt]

@fromthesidelines Actually she did appear in a Bob Hope Special and a Disney special where she shot segments in the Haunted Mansion. In the Disney special they had all her hair pulled around over her shoulders hiding her cleavage. It was very odd.

@cooldaddyjames2814 and Vincent knew the poem, too! Despite the host acting like an adolescent boy, I really loved Vincent and Cassandra together. Their banter back and forth... classic.

What a shame that Vincent Price and Elvira got together, only to be interviewed by this clown.

@Ulalafanboy You can usually tell by how high her hairdo was and whether she had her dagger yet. She got her dagger on her belt much later. Early pictures show her without her dagger

Elvira and Vincent Price in the same room? Damn... <3
