Saturday, October 19
2PM (19G1)/ 7PM (19G3)
GENERAL CINEMA HOLLYWOOD GALAXY THEATER
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).
