Elvira Will Guest Star in THE GOLDBERGS Halloween Episode
I’ve got some fun news for all you fans of The Goldbergs, It’s been announced that 80s horror icon Elvira will guest star in the show’s Halloween episode. It makes complete sense that the creative team behind the series would want to bring Elvira a.k.a Cassandra Peterson on to the show.
The Goldbergs always have fun with their Halloween episodes and in the past they’ve brought in guest stars like A Nightmare on Elm Street actor Robert Englund reprising his role of Freddy Krueger.
This new episode is titled "The Hunt for the Great Albino Pumpkin," and in the story, "Missing his Pops, Adam finds himself disenchanted with his once favorite time of year, Halloween. Beverly tirelessly tries to resurrect Adam's Halloween spirit from the dead, encouraging Pop Pop (Judd Hirsch) to spend some quality time with his grandson. A night of mishaps and chaos turns out to be just the adventure Adam needs. Meanwhile, with the push and support from Joanne, Barry decides to bring his former alter ego, rapper 'Big Tasty,' back to life; and a chance encounter with the legendary Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, brings Barry and Joanne closer together."
Elvira is celebrating her 40th anniversary this year and there’s been a lot going on with her as she recently released her memoirs, which kicked off a variety of appearances and special events. Peterson also previously revealed she was working on a third film for the Mistress of the Dark.
The Halloween episode of The Goldbergs is set to premiere on ABC on Wednesday, October 27th at 8:30 p.m. ET.
