VAMPIRA: ABOUT SEX, DEATH AND TAXES
(Finland, 1995 64 min.)

Vampira, a.k.a. Maila Nurmi, is a part of the almost lost history of popular culture. Presenter of KABC-TV's midnight horror films, Vampira exuded a combination of death and erotica that struck deep into the subconscious of the uptight '50s. Maila Nurmi eventually lost the commercial rights to the character she created; subsequent financial difficulties made her agree to a part in Plan 9 From Outer Space, her first appearance in an Ed Wood film. Plays with JUICEHEAD (U.S., 1996 30 min.) Also on 10/21 at the Monica (4:30PM and 9:30PM).
