A bigger coffin?
Cassandra Peterson a.k.a. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is having a
ghoulish garage sale this week on Friday the 13th.
Turns out the 56-year-old Peterson has filed for divorce from
husband/manager Mark Pierson -- married in 1981 -- and the couple are
selling their Los Angeles home.
The news announcement I received Tuesday reads:
"Elvira is pulling up stakes and relocating. This Friday and Saturday
at her residence, she will be selling genuine costumes, shoes, wigs,
hats, plates, scripts, sofas, pottery, dishes, kitchen stuff, clothing
and household items."
The spooky scary movie hostess has more than one reason for the sudden
move. Peterson was plagued with flooding and mudslides last May, along
with other neighbors of her gated property in the Hollywood Hills area
of L.A. She has had a very long and public battle with the city about
the runoff problem. Sounds like a curse to me.
