Vampira

Vampira is the queen of horror hosts. Predating Zacherley, she hosted horror movies with a sensuality and dark humor that was shocking for the time. Know for her incredibly small waist and sense of the macabre, she had a big following during the show's run. Although her show didn't last that long, she is well remembered. Her fame was brought about by many modeling assignments in the Vampira guise. Although having similar careers on opposite coasts of the United States, Vampira and Zacherley never met in person, though they are linked in many people's minds.


In 2006, director Kevin Sean Michaels made a feature length documentary about Vampira and her alter ego Maila Nurmi. Vampira the Movie discussed Maila's life and her creation of Vampira, including interviews with fans, contemporaries, and horror hosts that were inspired by her.
