Are You the Next Elviria?

Cassandra Peterson, who created the character 25 years ago and has portrayed her in numerous shows and movies, and her manager, Eric Gardner of Panacea Entertainment, have teamed with reality TV producers Stuart Krasnow and FremantleMedia North America to pitch an unscripted project featuring contestants competing for a one-year contract to portray the character in various personal appearances.

The show will put contestants in a miriad of elimination challenges similar to the ones on reality TV shows today. Only these will have a macabre twist to them. "We're looking at a show where the cast is going to be sleeping in coffins in a pretty scary place, and part of the production will be shot in Transylvania" Krasnow told Hollywood Reporter.

They are looking to immortalize the character of Elvira. They already have an animated series and a feature film centered around Elvira. I saw Cassandra Peterson at the Festival of Fear last year and I don't think its her looks that are holding her back. I'm guessing she has become tired with the role. Nonetheless this should be a good spin on reality TV.
