Page "Cassandra Peterson" Paragraph 14

In 1985, Elvira began hosting a home video series called ThrillerVideo for U. S. A. Home Video and later International Video Entertainment ( I. V. E .).

Many of these films were hand-selected by Peterson.

Choosing to stay away from the more explicit cannibal, slasher and zombie films of the time, these were generally tamer films such as The Monster Club and Dan Curtis television films, as well as many episodes of the Hammer House of Horror television series.

She refused to host Make Them Die Slowly, Seven Doors of Death, and Buried Alive, so the videos were released on the LIVE Home Video label without Elvira's appearance as hostess.

After this, several extended episodes of the British namesake series Thriller ( i. e. The Devil's Web, A Killer in Every Corner, Murder Motel ) were also released without Elvira hosting, sometimes various releases such as Buried Alive, the cast replaces Elvira.
