Welcome to the Official MySpace profile for Elvira's Twin, the worlds most popular Elvira Impersonator. For ten years Elvira's Twin has appeared across the nation as well as on television, radio and print media. Costarring with Elvira herself in 2007 on "The Search for the Next Elvira" Elvira's Twin not only assisted the Real Elvira in weeding out the contestants, he provided his skills as a make-up artist transforming the final three contestants into Elvira for the finale episode.

Elvira's Twin is a personality fondly referred to as 'ET' by it's creator Patterson Lundquist. A veteran of celebrity impersonation Patterson celebrates ten years of Elvira impersonation this September 2008.

What began in 1997 as a gag Halloween costume turned into a career that has lasted for a decade. From hosting the first Official Elvira's Nightmare Haunted House as Elvira to promoting the brews of Segrams Beverage Company, Patterson has done it all. Let's not forget hosting horror films in front of a live audience, twirling tassles in front of nearly two thousand people! To appearing as Elvira with Cassandra Peterson at live appearances and on television. All these and more make Patterson the nations most sought after Elvira impersonator.

He set the standards for Elvira Impersonators by following in the footsteps of his inspiration (Cassandra Peterson). He was the first Elvira Impersonator used to host Elvira's official haunted house attraction "Elvira's Nightmare Haunted House." Given approval from Cassandra 'Elvira' Peterson he appeared for a record thirteen nights, appearing in front of over twenty thousand people. He was the first Elvira impersonator to promote an alcoholic beverage (Rick's Spiked Lemonade & Grolsch Beer).

What once was a 'gig' monopolized by women yearning to recreate the busty horror hostess, Patterson found himself setting an example. Proving that with a lot of make up, some attention to detail and a lot of character study, a man can achieve an illusion solid enough to even fool the actress who originated the role.

Elvira Herself:

"Ok I swear, I'm looking at them (Patterson's photos) and I'm thinking to myself, my God, these have got to be me! In person he's like one of those freaky fun house mirrors yah know? It's like I'm taller, I'm thinner, I'm younger, it's fabulous! " - Cassandra Peterson the Real Elvira.

What began one dark and rainy All Hallows Eve of 1997 would prove to take Patterson on a wild journey across the United States. Doing over four hundred exclusive Elvira appearances (public and private) Patterson has been seen at private clubs, public gala's and events, corporate parties, conventions, haunted houses, movie theaters, museums, art galleries, parades, night clubs, charities and fundraisers as well as print media (both books and magazines), television (both network and public access) and radio (both AM & FM)!

While making it look easy is one thing, becoming Elvira is no small task. Two hours worth of make-up go into creating the illusion of the Queen of Halloween. How does he do it? "Let's just say that along with foundation, powder, gallons of eye liner and and eye shadow comes a big dose of Vodka too-" he laughs.

Patterson also proudly achieves the illusion of Elvira without any cosmetic surgery or hormone injections. With background as a special effects make-up artist as well as a costume designer and wig stylist Patterson combines his talents to replicate the look made famous by Cassandra Peterson. Of course no true Elvira impersonator is complete without a full set of... talents. Patterson also replicates Elvira's trademark cleavage with a spectacular custom made silicone prosthetic chest, that stops people dead in their tracks.

So out of so many appearances one might wonder which ones were his most memorable.

"Out of all my appearances, my favorites had to have been my most recent work with Cassandra on her Fox Reality Show 'The Search for the Next Elvira.' Being asked by her first of all was the highest honor. Beyond that, I have warm memories of my first gigs standing in as Elvira at her first Nightmare Haunted House. I guess my favorites have to be the gigs where I sat along side Cassandra Peterson herself. Those are the kinds of appearances any celebrity impersonator dreams of. It's an affirmation of your talent. Once you've done that, you can do anything."- Patterson

Both Cassandra and Patterson appear as Elvira on "The Search for the Next Elvira" on Fox Reality Channel.
