Who do you think would look better in an Elvira getup: Eminem or John Rocker?
Actually, Eminem. First of all because he loves gay men SO much. And secondly because he's prettier. Anyway, I love [''The Real Slim Shady'']. I did that song a couple of years ago. [Rapping] ''I'm Elvira, the real Elvira!/All you other Elviras are nothing but liars./So won't the real Elvira please stand up, please stand up?''

You look exactly the same as you did 20 years ago. Did you steal Dick Clark's youth potion?
Actually, Dick Clark has been accused of having a painting of himself hanging on the wall that continues to age and he stays young. Well, I have Dick Clark tied up in my basement. He's aging, and I'm staying young.

Your alter ego, Cassandra Peterson, once made out with Jimi Hendrix in 1969. How would you describe the Jimi Hendrix experience?
Big and wet. Let me say no more.

In the '70s, Cassandra once took acting classes with a pre-Wonder Woman Lynda Carter and a young Debra Winger. Twenty years, two films, and many TV shows later, do you have any Method acting tips to give them?
Less acting, more cleavage. Hey, it worked for me!

In the movie, you play a can-can performer who gets trapped in a haunted castle in Romania. And the movie was shot there. How would you rate the accommodations?
Pretty bleak — kind of like going back 500 years. It's very much like ''Gilligan's Island.'' We're talking oxen pulling carts here, old peasant ladies driving flocks of geese in front of them. Really primitive, but very friendly.
