New York, NY – October, 2006 -- United Stations Radio Networks, Inc., (USRN), an independent leader in the creation and marketing of network radio programming, wants the world to know that
ELVIRA, The Queen of Halloween, will be a regular contributor to the nightly radio program
Nights with Alice Cooper through the remainder of the month of October. During the segments, Elvira will provide various thematic reports and advice to listeners, all related to the Halloween season.
For twenty-five years, the name Elvira has been synonymous with all things frightful. Her notoriety as
Mistress of the Dark began when she first appeared as the hostess of a local Hollywood Horror movie show on television, and her fame grew exponentially from there. Elvira was the first horror host ever to be syndicated nationally as well as the first person to be broadcast on American television in 3D, resulting in the sale of more than 2.7 million pairs of 3D glasses in Los Angeles alone! Elvira's unique brand of sweetness and sarcastic, sexy sass has consistently grabbed fans across the US and around the world. In the last two decades she has made hundreds of film, television and live appearances and her Halloween costume is the best selling female costume of all time.
Elvira's reign as 'Queen of Halloween' is now further acknowledged as

On the program segments, Elvira, created and portrayed by actress-writer Cassandra Peterson, visits Alice in the studio to share her unique thoughts on how to maximize the fun and fright of the Halloween season. The two performers have been friends for a long time, and the segments reflect the playful nature of both of these nocturnal creatures.
Nights with Alice Cooper is a Classic Rock program hosted by the legendary rocker that has been on the air since early 2004 and is now heard on nearly 100 affiliates in North America as well as several international radio outlets. The show is produced by Katherine Turman for United Stations Radio Networks, Inc., the largest independently owned and operated radio network in the nation. The company maintains sales offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas and services programming to over 4000 rated radio stations across the country.
