“When the meeting adjourned, the first thing I did to prepare for the new show was to go straight to my friend Robert Redding from Mamas Boys, who was now living back in LA. In addition to being a performer, he was also a talented artist, so he and I threw some ideas around and he came up with sketches of what we thought the character might look like. The first version we both agreed on was a take on Sharon Tate’s character from Roman Polanski’s movie The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck, which had been a favorite of ours. The Sharon Tate look would utilize my own long, wavy, red locks and I would wear a pale-pink tattered gown with “dead-girl” makeup: pale face and lips and dark, sunken eyes. That look didn’t fly with the KHJ management at all.
“No, definitely not,” came the response. “Has to be all black!””—Cassandra Peterson in her memoir; Yours Cruelly, Elvira
