She was originally supposed to take over the role of Vampira, which years before had been played by Maila Nurmi. When a television station wanted to bring Vampira back to life, Peterson landed the gig.
Peterson admitted she didn't care for the name at first, as it made her think of the Oak Ridge Boys song of the same name. Despite that, she became Elvira, and Elvira's Movie Macabre debuted soon after.
In 2021, Peterson told Today, "I really, honestly, never imagined that being the rest of my life. It was such a cheesy, low-budget show. I remember thinking, 'Oh, this is probably going to last about a week.' But here I am, 40 years later still doing it."
