Perfect choice of the music for the video.

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

She was a very beautiful elegant lady well ahead of her time. Wish she had done more TV and films. Hollywood dismissed her just because she wouldn't play by their rules, so sad. She was too good for them. RIP Beautiful Maila ❤️💖❤❤

[@TheLordVeil]

She's so beautiful 🦇🖤🦇

[@RogueAdamantiumQueen]

original goth chick! And boy was she gorgeous. Cheekbones, body, attitude, everything. R.I.P.

[@ranlitt3201]

She was more beautiful than movie actresses.

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

I totally agree, she certainly was. She was beautifully stunning. Loved her voice and wit too. I am absolutely fascinated with Maila! RIP Beautiful lady ❤️

[@larrydest1466]

[@michaeljovan9957]

She was so ahead of her time! Stuff legends are made of!

[@paullevine1813]

we shant see the likes of her again, as a boy in the 60s she fasinated me ,scary and sexy , the original vamp and first class women she was the coolest . it's nice that many others have not forgotten this classy and wonderfull lady. i would hope she would have known how many fans she had and still has, screwed by hollywood but loved to death by her fans she will always have her place in the hearts of true horror fans. The Original Horror Godess and Vamp. We are yours & miss you...

[@daywalkermike]

Absolutely true ! Same here ! I don´t know, where my fascination for this woman comes from, ...I mean,concerning this woman, I behave like a teenage-girl at a boy-group-concert, like a newly enamored boy . And all that, because of a "girl" that´s 50 years older than me, and already deceased ... strange phenomenon.

[@luvdomus]

That video was very beautifully done. Thank you.

[@joegreaser]

I'm in love...................... what a beauty

[@fiestamort]

simply divine

[@MichelleDeVille]

Yes indeed,what a wonderful collection of beautiful photos.Wow !

[@saganemc2]

perfection!

[@daywalkermike]

Although I like the gothic-look, my favourite pictures are the two from 0:20 - 0:35 , which are showing her in another - for her untypical- style. Timeless beauty. One of the most attractive women of the 20th century ! Wow !

[@tempelton]

OMG - you've chosen my favourite piece of music ever (with the possible exception of Venus) to memorialize one of my favourite women ever! Thank you so much :) Beautiful...

[@Mr22thou]

Although I grew up in L.A., I was way too young to watch her TV show & knew almost nothing about her or the show until a couple of years ago. Since then I've been fascinated, but haven't found much info about her. Finally, Wikipedia has a brief entry including the story of the show. It also describes what the brief clips that can be found on KZbin & the Vampira website are & why there aren't more. She & the show's producer started the whole horror movie host concept & inspired Elvira, MOTD.

[@paperboxcutter]

What a face! Why wasn't she a mega-star? She could have made silent films. She looks very powerful. I'm glad I found out about her through the movie, Ed Wood.

[@AnnaLVajda]

Too fetish like maybe she got dismissed for the overt sexuality of the character perhaps. Femme fatalish.

[@pontimaniac2303]

I could see her absolutely in Metropolis . Yes silent movies, also would have been perfect star for 1935 talkie movie " SHE "

[@HelloAngiebf]

recién la conocí en 2021, y me siento su fan.

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

Me too! I came across her last year and I absolutely love her! I just wish that I discovered her a long time ago! She is the most fascinating, intelligent authentic, beautiful actress who was well ahead of her time. She had a very tough time. She was too good for Hollywood. RIP Beautiful Maila ❤️

[@StarfishBazooka]

Iconic.

[@jacopman]

music from Holt's "The Planets"...... Not sure which planet song this one is but I think it is neptune....

[@antuhuecolegio3430]

Por Dios que hermosa Maila....vean el vídeo, y verán de que hablo....hasta siempre Maila.......

[@teeniebeenie8774]

she was wonderful.....

[@teeniebeenie8774]

tragic cassandra peterson did not compensate or help maila out of her indigence.

[@MrBrassboy]

The picture shot under the tree with what looks like a cigarette holder reminds me of Norma Desmond.

[@markandresen1]

Perhaps intentional, as she often namechecked Gloria Swanson's character as a big influence.

[@pontimaniac2303]

Yes for sure.

[@neilmacleod8583]

A real beauty & very smart and talented , if they wanted to make money .......should have done things her way ! Like I said, she was smart , she was ahead of time ! Yes I enjoy a good scare , she was the 1st and was copied many times .

[@BroadwayG]

18 inch waist! Alluring. Unique. Beautiful. Special.

[@michaelt.wardlespider2496]

Without Vampira there would be no Elvira... Without Charles Addams there would be no Vampira.

[@lonewolf4111]

Are there any of the original shows left? I think a long time ago they ran a special on TV and I remember seeing a few minutes of footage of her show. She could scare you one minute and seduce you the next. I'm sorry that her show ran for such a short time because Vampira really had some great stage presence . Very beautiful woman,

[@btinsley1]

someone KNOWS how to serve face !

[@desperatebeat]

She looks just like Christina Ricci in a few of these photos.

[@vampyramirez8433]

[@Medusa0999]

I know where I recognize the music from! it's been driving me mad. The music was used in the documentary Zoo

[@DriveBy1316]

Where is this music from?

[@ignorecorporatenews]

She got ripped off

[@Finland1965]

She was born in Finland

[@henryohman8503]

@@user-ji4rc2ou1l Yes...a mistake from me there...sorry🙂🥳

[@MichelleDeVille]

Whatever...((

[@cherrynutz]

Wonderful video rest in peace Maila Nurmi .

[@LesbianVampireLover]

Imagine the utter joy which many of us experienced back in the 1950's when we could watch these late night horror film hosts/hostesses! Many of the big cities had their own "ghouls". I know that it was the highlight of MY week to watch Bestoink Dooley (George Ellis) in Atlanta serve up the horror film classics. But Vampira was but a black and white photo in Famous Monsters or those few fantastic scenesin Plan 9 for most of us.

[@dontaylor7315]

My experience exactly. The Shock Theatre host where I lived was a man in black at a station broadcasting out of San Antonio. He also played Captain Gus, the host of an afternoon cartoon show that featured old Popeye shorts. Plan 9 and Famous Monsters were my only contact with Vampira, just as you said.
