Happy Birthday Elvira!!!!

Today, the Weekend Drive-In salutes Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (aka Cassandra Peterson)! The popular horror hostess turns 60 today!

Gotta love Elvira. She's hilarious! Plus, her syndicated "Movie Macabre" continues to introduce horror fans to crazy B-movies. Currently, THIS TV airs Elvira's antics at 4 a.m. (CST) on Sunday mornings and midnight on Mondays. This weekend, the mistress presents 1952 amazon epic "Untamed Women."

Of course, Elvira has appeared on countless movies and TV shoes. Among those features is her self-titled 1988 comedy, "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark." It's rarely shown on cable and definitely worth seeking out on DVD. A sequel, "Elvira's Haunted Hills" followed in 2001.

So, have a cocktail and some cake...and don't forget to set the DVR for the next installment of "Elvira's Movie Macabre."
