Horror channel Shudder will host a marathon in celebration of genre
queen Elvira on September 27.
Cassandra Peterson embodied the notorious horror screen presence, who
will be appearing on the channel in four of her most prolific outings
for her character’s 40th anniversary, entitled Elvira’s 40th
Anniversary, Very Scary, Very Special Special.
“It’s always tough turning 40,” the actor said in a statement. “But
what better way to mark the occasion than a one-night stand with
Shudder, the spookiest of streamers?
“It’s going to be the ultimate Hallow-anniversa-ween bash, and you
don’t want to miss it.”
The marathon will begin with seminal entry Elvira, Mistress Of The
Dark, followed by William Castle’s gimmick-laden horror thriller House
On Haunted Hill (1959). Christopher Lee co-stars in The City Of The
Dead, the third offering of the programme, and finally unsettling indie
horror Messiah Of Evil sees off the day.
“Elvira is a legend who’s been lighting up our screens and delighting
fans for 40 years, and we’re honoured to celebrate the ‘Queen of
Halloween’s’ fantastic career milestone with her new ‘very special’
special, the perfect treat for Shudder members this Halloween season,”
said Shudder boss Craig Engler.
Elsewhere in horror news, Netflix has signed on WWE stars The
Undertaker and The New Day for an upcoming interactive horror movie.
The film, entitled Escape The Undertaker, will arrive in time for
Halloween the streaming platform has confirmed.
The upcoming Netflix Halloween programme also includes the third season
of You, which will premiere on the platform on October 15.
