Very attractive and intelligent actress. May she rest in peace. Thank you for the video.

She 's here about 2 mins but being remembered most till now for...67 yrs.!!!👏🏼

1954.

She lived a hard life, but she was the original! She had a child with Orson Wells, but gave him up for adoption. RIP

Of course, if you love somebody warm, there ARE advantages. But, usually, they don't wanta help with the bills, drink all your liquor, don't take the dogs out, water, and feed them, and pick up their poop. Your Son is in college, working, has no time when he gets home. This is America. Could be worse.😂. It's still good to struggle.. considering the alternatives.

You ever fall in love with somebody that's dead? I assure you, it can happen!

Ah. Kill me now! I love to hate her. I hate to love her. I just love her!

Yeah, I'm sick! ANYTHING FROM the 20'th century looks marvelous! Vampira? It's a dream come true. How did she create and persevere her own invention and subculture? There is genius in the midst! Why was she not acknowledged more? It's never too late to covey up to this gem. Better think. We owe so much. Don't loose her value. Don't let her diminish. She gave us so much! Heroine!

Love. Scary love... I'm afraid. But I'm still in love. I'm STILL in love with Donna Summer. And I don't know what to do with that! Anyway, Happy Halloween! See you soon?

Someday, likened to an Amelia Earhart, THIS woman will be perceived to have somehow advanced beyond her time.Our appreciation of things to come will only be met later.Those meant to, not only jump ahead of their own era, yet create the future! SHE created a release for others, those later, too much ahead of even their own time, to transcend time, delved into esoteric darkness. Um.Left numb.There is no limit to the after-affects of her phenomenon. It is staggering how one individual from the 20th century still affects us all! No less here, thank, JFK, or Marilyn! Go figure... .

Further, there would BE no Avengers, Dark Shadows, Black Sabbath, Carnival of Souls, Night of the Living Dead, Hammer Horror, Uncle Ted, Svengoolie, Night Gallery, without THIS PROGENISIS! I'm convinced! Punk, Annie Lenox (TOTAL RESEMBLANCE), Joan Jett, even, shall I utter, Barbara Steele and Ingrid Pitt! THIS WOMAN, singlehandedly created The Adam's Family, Wednesday, blood curdling screams! Maila IS the Nicolas Tesla of subversive goth!

ALWAYS been fascinated by the image of VAMPIRA, even before I was born, it seems! I've ALWAYS (too) wondered why she didn't have more footage available. I've come to learn, that few people then (1950's), had the insight or money/technology to record live tv. In the future, (we can only hope!) Those few rich necrophiles, within THEIR estates, shall give up whatever archival footage that I'm sure MUST still exist, however meager, to advance Maila Nurmi's legacy. I mean, she gave us Soooo much, ahead of the wave to come...

Looks so fun

“I don’t have any babies or social history that was remarkable, so I’m leaving something behind”. Damn that’s sad.

She was the blueprint

FIT!!!

Pretty corny.Obviously she turned on all the horny repressed men from the 50 s .That gave her her 15 minutes of fame.

The whole comparison battle is completely baseless, Vampira and Elvira only share their names ending in a rhyme, totally different and unique. The fact Vampira ordered a Cease and desist claiming IP copyright issues when She blatantly took her style from Morticia (She admits this in a book and interview) was laughable. I do agree that Vampira went in a better direction than Morticia and did originate Her own identity in the end. All 3 have and still hold their place in the Genre and have yet to be topped.

A lot of people seem to want her to be a lot darker than she is, she was just trying to have spooky fun.

she was incredibly beautiful, and her look is the basis of any goth woman ever since

"Screaming relaxes me so"

The stories Malia tells about the "iconic" Edward Wood are just pure gold. More real than the Tim Burton's movie

Never seen her on telly, before. She used to hang with the misfits.

1:40 Is just me or this is same music line of Shining ?

Maila was such an incredible woman, so artistic and talented. When she couldn't get jobs in the arts she brought her talent to even doing carpentry and linolum flooring installs which to me are still artistic, she was old Hollywood where you worked hard. She deserved to be so much more and given more roles, hopefully she's shining bright today with her friend Jimmy having a laugh together. RIP Maila

Vampire, obviously an inspiration to Pete “Mad Daddy” Myers, years later on WHK radio, Cleveland Ohio 1958/9.

Talk about ahead of her time. If she was in her 20s in NYC or London in the 1970s and 80s she would for sure be the IT girl and have a lucrative career and we'd be looking a coffee table books dedicated to her and watching documentaries and bio pics about her.

“I’m next” - woah

I learned about Ed Wood in the 80s from a book about bad movies, compiled Michael Medved. I couldn't wait to see Plan 9! A few years passed and one of the cable channels (TBS ?) ran it. I loved it.

I like how she laughs at Ed woods wanting to be orsen welles well ed wood is more famous and remembered than this d lister ever was

2:35 You like it? It hates you LMAO

Shes awsome what a stupid title

Amazing to think this was in 1954. That's exactly 10 years before the Addams Family and Munsters tv shows began (both 1964).

Encore, Encore, we want more!🖤

Bela's verdict - Look at those jugs.

Basically ELVIRA Show was a Copy Cat! To me the Movie she was in was NOT the worse movie ever made you kidding me! It was rumored to be just that then.

She almost breaks into tears when she says "it's been tough"Beautiful soul,clearly didn't drink the "gold juice" to be so impoverished.Yet here we are with "Elvira" making a fortune from her creation..... It's awful that Maila wanted her 54 shows on cinefilm but Elvira bought them all so she couldn't...love this lady.❤

Its really really fucking warm in here.....whew.. 😅

R I P Vampira

Vampira was awesome

She was pretty

She was kinda scary.

Elvira literally ripped off her entire character, even copied her show to a T, and never even bothered thanking her or giving her a cut of the spoils. And Maila OWNED the character. She should've been a billionaire.

How many faps in the 1950's did she cause?

You can see she is intelligent, and she seems as kind as she is beautiful

Took me forever to figure out where i had heard this music before. The Shining used this specific music extensively, or the composer seriously ripped it off. Interesting shit.

Doesn't look Finnish to me, looks Armenian maybe even Azerbaijani!!!🤔

Vampira had such a tiny waist.

'electricity is for chairs' LOL true class. cant believe ive never heard of her before

Is she wearing fangs
