I have known the character Elvira in a very broad sense. She was rather before my time but after reading this I have every intention of looking the movies up so I can see all the wonderful spooky vampy galore that is the Queen of Halloween.

I enjoyed this memoir beyond words. So many stories, so much love, crazy adventures, deep heartache, ghosts, pain and trauma, hard earned success.... This book has it all. Ms. Peterson has shared much of a well lived life and done so in a way that is such fun to read. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys behind the scene Hollywood tales as it is chock full to the binding.
