Many book lovers could spend hours in a library wandering around perusing the shelves, but the Willard Library in Evansville, Indiana is a little more unique because it houses not only books and magazines but some spooky residents. In the 1930s, staff members and patrons first started seeing apparitions including a woman in Victorian clothing named The Gray Lady, a gentleman named Frank, and a little boy named Billy Bobby who likes to play on the stairs. These are friendly ghosts and each year the Willard conducts free ghost tours to the public. You can also keep track of the ghosts for yourself through their ghost cams that they have set up in various locations through the library. This week we speak to Stacie Dotson, a staff member at the Willard Library who is considered their ghost guru. She is a lover of the paranormal and in fact has a fairly unique background herself which makes her perfect for this job. Stacie has had several encounters with the ghostly residents and she fills us in. You can find more information about the Willard Library, their ghost tours, and ghost cams at www.willardghost.com.

It's a big one, so get ready... The Nagoya basho is going on so of course a bit of sumo talk. It's been a year so we run down where Nathan has been, specifically about his sicknesses with COVID-19 and a rash of some sort that hospitalized him for a week! In TV: Seinfeld, King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers all get a bit of time until we dive into Stranger Things discussions (no spoilers) and whether the fourth season of that is actually any good. In books: New Yorker movie critic Pauline Kael's greatest hits get a new life on Nathan's iPad along with Berserk?! Also, Cruelly Yours, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark, and Leviathan Wakes (the first book of The Expanse series) The Outer Worlds is finally given it's due diligence and some baseball talks around Nathan seeing an Okotoks Dawgs game before getting a little bitter about The Batman and Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and in general the MCU Phase 4 properties at large. At least Jurassic World Dominion is good under the influence of some happy time drugs. To end things off, we have a discussion about Jeff Gerstmann leaving Giant Bomb and Nathan finally played Dungeons & Dragons when he and some friends got together to do the Tomb of Horror module. All this and much, much more in this catch-up episode of the Pixel Response podcast!

Happy Halloween, ghouls! We are officially at the end of the 13 Weeks of Halloween, and we at My Spooky Gay Family thought that the only way to celebrate was with a HUGE episode... so we are happy to share a very special interview with the Queen of Halloween, the star, heart, and legs behind Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark herself, Cassandra Peterson! In this episode, we chat with Cassandra about her new memoir, "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark". We chat about everything from coming out as queer, to living in a haunted house, to sharing a treehouse with a gun fanatic. It was a joy to chat with this amazing horror icon, and an interview you won't want to miss. And as a very special added bonus, we went a step further and invited Sam Irvin, the director of Elvira's sophomore film, "Elvira's Haunted Hills", to stop by and chat about his career, his experience working with two of the biggest names in horror musical comedy, and what makes this movie the perfect cult classic to catch this Halloween as it's re-released on blu-ray! Enjoy this Halloween episode, kids! These conversations were so much fun, and definitely two for the books.

Cassandra Peterson steps Behind The Rope. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, in the flesh, Behind The Rope. Let us just process that for a hot horror sec. Cassandra is here to chat about her new book (currently # 4 on the NYT Best Sellers List) “Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark”, where she holds nothing back about her outrageous, strange, often funny, often heartbreaking tale from a Midwest farm girl whose unfortunate childhood accident led her to ultimately become the most Iconic, Sexiest, Sassiest, Campiest Horror Legend of ALL time! Cassandra details how Elvira was born, the highs and lows of an over four decade long career of being Elvira, the amazing, often strange, fan encounters, the unbelievable and often also strange celeb run ins, the biggest misconceptions about both Elvira and Cassandra, and the most shocking revelations in this book that will leave most readers speechless. Finally, Cassandra chats about current horror trends and blockbusters such as Ryan Murphy's “American Horror Story”, Reality TV, who she would love to play her in the story of her life, what Elvira does to celebrate her just past Seventieth Birthday - we are as shocked as you are - and just what is next for this Queen of Macabre and Living Legend that does not seem to be slowing down any time soon. As Elvira says, Unpleasant Dreams.  @therealelvira @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by CANVA - https://www.canva.com/affiliates/VELVETROPE (Free 45 Day Extended Trial ) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Finance savvy TikTokers find success mimicking the stock buys from members of Congress.

Then, an ad agency in NC creates a vaccination campaign around a non-existent funeral home in order to encourage people to get the shot.

On Good Friday in 1953, at only 18 months old, 25 miles from the nearest hospital in Manhattan, Kansas, Cassandra Peterson reached for a pot on the stove and doused herself in boiling water. Third-degree burns covered 35% of her body, and the prognosis wasn't good. But she survived. Burned and scarred, the impact stayed with her and became an obstacle she was determined to overcome. Feeling like a misfit led to her love of horror. While her sisters played with Barbie dolls, Cassandra built model kits of Frankenstein and Dracula, and idolized Vincent Price. Due to a complicated relationship with her mother, Cassandra left home at 14, and by age 17 she was performing at the famed Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas as the youngest showgirl in Vegas. Run-ins with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Tom Jones helped her grow up fast. Then a chance encounter with the "King," himself, Elvis Presley, changed the course of her life forever, and inspired her to travel to Europe where she worked in film and toured Italy as lead singer of an Italian pop band. She eventually made her way to Los Angeles, joining the famed improv group, The Groundlings, and honing her comedic skills alongside Phil Hartman and Paul "Pee-wee" Reubens. Then in 1981, nearing age 30, a struggling actress considered past her prime, Cassandra auditioned at local LA channel KHJ as hostess for their late-night horror movies. She improvised, made the role her own, and got the job as "Elvira" on the spot, never imagining it would lead to fame and a forty-year career. YOURS CRUELLY, ELVIRA (9/21/21, Hachette Books, Hardcover, $29, 9780306874352) is Cassandra's unforgettably wild memoir that does not shy away from revealing exactly who she is and how she overcame seemingly insurmountable odds. Always original and often outrageous, YOURS CRUELLY, ELVIRA is the candid, often hilarious, downright shocking, and sometimes heart-breaking tale of a Midwest farm girl's long strange trip to become the world's sexiest, sassiest Halloween icon. Cassandra Peterson was born in Manhattan, Kansas and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After years as a dancer/singer/actress/comedian, she created the character Elvira, which became an overnight success. In addition to hosting her long-running TV series Movie Macabre, Peterson went on to co-write and star in two self-titled feature films, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Elvira's Haunted Hills. She has spent four decades solidifying her unique brand and building it into an internationally recognized pop culture icon synonymous with Halloween and the horror genre.

Run-ins with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Tom Jones helped her grow up fast. Then a chance encounter with the "King," himself, Elvis Presley, changed the course of her life forever, and inspired her to travel to Europe where she worked in film and toured Italy as lead singer of an Italian pop band. She eventually made her way to Los Angeles, joining the famed improv group, The Groundlings, and honing her comedic skills alongside Phil Hartman and Paul "Pee-wee" Reubens. Then in 1981, nearing age 30, a struggling actress considered past her prime, Cassandra auditioned at local LA channel KHJ as hostess for their late-night horror movies. She improvised, made the role her own, and got the job as "Elvira" on the spot, never imagining it would lead to fame and a forty-year career. YOURS CRUELLY, ELVIRA (9/21/21, Hachette Books, Hardcover, $29, 9780306874352) is Cassandra's unforgettably wild memoir that does not shy away from revealing exactly who she is and how she overcame seemingly insurmountable odds. Always original and often outrageous, YOURS CRUELLY, ELVIRA is the candid, often hilarious, downright shocking, and sometimes heart-breaking tale of a Midwest farm girl's long strange trip to become the world's sexiest, sassiest Halloween icon. Cassandra Peterson was born in Manhattan, Kansas and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After years as a dancer/singer/actress/comedian, she created the character Elvira, which became an overnight success. In addition to hosting her long-running TV series Movie Macabre, Peterson went on to co-write and star in two self-titled feature films, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Elvira's Haunted Hills. She has spent four decades solidifying her unique brand and building it into an internationally recognized pop culture icon synonymous with Halloween and the horror genre.

Big month for Cassandra Peterson. She's celebrated her birthday, she's released her new memoir Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark, and now she's hosting a 40th anniversary special on Shudder that's aptly titled, Elvira's 40th Anniversary, Very Scary, Very Special Special. To celebrate, the Halloweenies are dusting off this career retrospective interview with the legend from 2020 in which she digresses on everything from being a household name, to why the horror genre brings her so much comfort, to how she passed the time during the worst of the pandemic. It's an admittedly unpredictable conversation that celebrates a legitimate pop culture icon.
