Elvira, Mistress of the Dark greets the press

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark does her wild-woman thing as she attends the Halloween Grand Marshall press conference at the Here Theatre in New York City. The date was October 31 -- yes, Halloween -- of 2006. The Here Theater was, at the time, a small performance space in Manhattan, but we have no idea what "Halloween Grand Marshall press conference" means. Elvira was born Cassandra Peterson in 1951, so she turned 55 the year this photo was taken.
