Maila Syrjaniemi Nurmi aka "VAMPIRA"-R.I.P.

[ANGRYCOMICMAN]

TV's first scream queen horror hostess (briefly) and schlock movie star passed away on Jan. 10, 2008, at the age of 86.
Famous for working with Ed Wood in Plan 9 from Outer Space.
She also scared the sh!t out of me in the begining credits of Chiller Theatre (WPIX - 11, 1960's).
She was Elvira's predecessor.
