Maybe it's a case of never really looking at her face that closely.

She's a good looking woman. But she's almost 60, and that airbrushed artwork is some Uncanny Valley shit.

"How do we make this poster the most boring thing ever?"
"I could shop out Elvira's cleavage..."
"Brilliant."

The design of the All About Evil poster reminded me of an old vhs porn box cover. Specifically, those highfalutin porn movies.

This is the second creepiest Cassandra Peterson/Elvira-related thing I've encountered. The creepiest is still her story about losing her virginity to Tom Jones as a seventeen-year-old showgirl.

Agreed. I saw her in person in full Elvira gear a couple of years back, and while she still looks great for her age, she'd need a literal truckload of makeup and bathe in the blood of many virgins in order to come anywhere near the smooth skin in that obviously 'shopped poster.

Nostalgia (and an appreciation of Elvira's other lesser celebrated asset):

This resulted in a mighty LOL from me.

I remember going to see Elvira: Mistress of the Dark when I was in 6th grade. I described her tassel dance at the end to my parents when I got home. Mom got mad and Dad high-fived me.

I was always very thankful of Fangoria for featuring Elvira in a spread around the release of her movie, which coincided with me being fourteen years old, and you can figure out the rest. I like to play with myself.

This made my day just as much as the Tom Jones bit; I still remember when I had to explain to my parents (and brother) the real source of that Boobarella joke character from "The Simpsons".
Yeah, I think ive never used the word boobs that much infront of my parents again.

One of my favorite film quotes is from that movie:

After Elvira hits her head:
"How's your head?"
"I haven't had any complaints yet..."

Ask the marketing team who put together that ALL ABOUT EVIL poster art. Not to speak for Phil but I think he was merely comparing the real Cassandra Peterson to the 'shopped synthespian of the same name in the article in question.

Right by there seems to be this thought that the Photo-shopped pic is covering up some sort of horror, and I ain't seeing anything to be horrified of.

It's not that anything's horrifying, but she is covering up some natural, expected wrinkles. The 'shopped pic makes her look like porn star Kylie Ireland in her prime (when she was in her early 20's or so), and not like a 60 yr old.

Well WE didn't fucking photoshop it. Ease up. My pic was to show how fucking weird the poster art in the article was.

Exactly. The linked poster makes her look 30-35. The actual photo makes her look more her age, albeit damn good for someone pushing or topped 60.
