Cosplay Spotlight: Elvira Cosplay

Published on October 13th, 2020 | Updated on October 13th, 2020 | By FanFest

When it comes to Halloween and horror, nothing may be more iconic than Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.  Elvira is one of the most iconic characters in the history of film and television and easily recognizable by people beyond the horror circle.

Elvira was associated with many products through the 1980s and 1990s, including Halloween costumes, comic books, action figures, trading cards, pinball machines, Halloween decor, model kits, calendars, perfume and dolls. Elvira appeared on the cover of Femme Fatales magazine five times. Her popularity reached its zenith with the release of the 1988 feature film Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, on whose script, written directly for the screen, Peterson collaborated with John Paragon and Sam Egan.

When you are this iconic, you are imitated.  And the greatest form of flattery is the cosplay scene.  The images below are a celebration of fans who praise an icon, Elvira.

I’ve met a lot of ghosts in my time, but this is something completely different! ‍♀️ Forty years ago today Pac-Man was released in the USA! Pac-Man became the first true mega-hit video game in history, sparking “Pac-Man Fever” and catapulting the video game industry into mainstream culture. I had so much fun playing it in the arcade. Here’s a never before seen photo from Monster Bash 2018 at The Curtis Hotel. While exploring the video game floor I got to meet some very unusual ghosts. Fun Fact: Did you know that Pac-Man’s original name was ‘Puck-Man’? It was changed because Midway, Namco’s U.S. distributor, thought that vandals would alter the letter “P” to an “F”. Probably a smart move!
