Elvira is sharing her thoughts about Kylie Jenner’s Halloween costume, after the reality star surprised her fans with almost the exact same look as Cassandra Peterson’s iconic character.

She continued, “It would have been even more flattering if she tagged me,” as horror fans recognize Cassandra’s role in the 1988 film ‘Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.’ Kylie also named herself ‘Kyvira’ when she posted the photos, recreating the look and some of the costumes and scenes for the movie, in a series of professional photos.

The actress was catapulted into fame after portraying the fan-favorite character in the 80’s and creating a whole aesthetic for Elvira. Imitation might be the highest form of flattery but…she could never!!!” one person wrote, while someone else commented, “Nothing comes close to the original.”
