  Vampira movie review - Film - Time Out New York
Clive Donner had been living in limbo since the famous disaster of Alfred the Great, but making a movie like Vampira is no way to set any man's career to rights.
It's a horror spoof with no sense of style and no sense of humour, for which Jeremy Lloyd's infantile script is as much to blame as Donner's slap-happy direction.
Count Dracula's beloved Vampira is mistakenly brought back to life fl rather than white, and Dracula (Niven) runs amok in a still-swinging London trying to find an antidote - a plotline which provides sufficient excuse for jokes and wheezes that one thought had gone out with The Munsters.

  VAMPIRA
Vampira, undisputed Queen of the horror scene, started out her life in Finland with her given name Maila Syrjanieme Nurmi (She is the niece of famed Olympic runner Paavo Nurmi).
Vampira would be introducing her weekend horror movie to Los Angeles First called LADY OF HORRORS.
The show was such an early fore-runner that for the most part Vampira would host four horror movies to every six detective films in her show.

  TV ACRES: Horror Show Hosts - Maila Nurmi as Vampira (The Vampira Show)
Former model Maila Nurmi played the glamour "ghoul" Vampira who weekly wandered through a hallway of mist and cobwebs to greet her weekly viewers of "B" horror movies broadcast at 11:00 PM.
Vampira had a full bust, slim waist (17-inches), tight fl dress, long fl hair and plenty of bug-eyed viewers.
At the same time Vampira was hosting her weekly fright fest of monster and horror movies, "Zacherly," an East coast counterpart was running amok on late night television in 1950s New York City.

 Maila "Vampira" Nurmi
The Vampira Show, as it became known, was a campy phenomenon in Los Angeles in 1954-1955 and Nurmi earned a place in pop culture history as the first television horror movie host, a fraternity which later included such figures as John Zacherle and even kid-show host Claude Kirschner.
Nurmi's Vampira was the subject of coverage in Life magazine and Newsweek, and fan clubs sprang up around her persona.
None of the Vampira shows from television were preserved and the program disappeared after the mid-'50s in a dispute between Nurmi and her producers (she describes herself as being "fllisted".

 Vampira: The Black Madonna of Hollywood
Vampira's show, called "Lady of Horrors," paved the way—Vampira would emerge from a mist-filled corridor, shrieking her head off, decked out in a fl wig, three-inch fingernails, foot-long cigarette holder and a clingy dress that showed off her impressive physique (38-17-36).
It was during this period in the early 1980s that Los Angeles station KHJ hired her as a consultant to revive the Vampira character with a new actress.
Vampira, of course, lives on in a million little ways—on t-shirts, in sculpture and even in an underground musical—but mostly in late-night screenings of Plan 9, mute and pale and captivating.

 Nurmi, Maila :: N : Gourt
Vampira's explanation for their friendship: "We have the same neuroses." Dean commented, "I have a fairly adequate knowledge of satanic forces, and I was interested to find out if this girl was obsessed with such a force."
The idea for the Vampira character was born in 1953 when Nurmi attended choreographer Lester Horton's annual Bal Caribe Masquerade in a costume inspired by a character in The New Yorker cartoons by Charles Addams.
The name Vampira was the invention of Nurmi's husband, Dean Reisner (1918-2002), screenwriter of Dirty Harry, Charley Varrick, Play Misty For Me and numerous other movies and TV episodes.

 Vampira: The Movie
Creepy Classics reports that "Vampira: The Movie comes out of the box (coffin) to rocket to number two." And like a severed head on a string, the DVD has been bouncing around in the top-ten of Alpha's parent company Oldies.com.

 Amazon.de: Plan 9 from Outer Space: DVD: Béla Lugosi,Vampira,Lyle Talbot,Gordon Zahler,Edward D. Wood Jr.
Ein Schauspieler, der diese Bezeichnung nicht verdient, steht an einem Ort am Tag und sieht einen anderen an, der offensichtlich in der Nacht steht und so weiter.
Gleich am Anfang sehen wir zwei Totengräber (kräftig gebaut), die schreien wie am Spieß, als sie die von der Natur liebvoll bestückte Vampira (Marke Wespentaille) sehen, nur weil sie etwas verrenkt im Gelände rumsteht und sonst eigentlich gar nichts macht.
Abgesehen davon, dass der Film komplett unterbelichtet ist, man bei manchen Szenen die Studiobeleuchtung erkennen kann und die Bauten jeder Beschreibung spotten (eine Stellwand und ein Duschvorhang ergeben ein Flugzeugcockpit), gibt es noch zwei Szenen, die unbedingt zu erwähnen sind.
