It was in this context that Nurmi took a role in a micro-budgeted movie with an incoherent script and famously eccentric director: “ Plan 9 From Outer Space.” When the movie was completed, if such a disaster could say to have completion, it hung around in obscurity even lower than Nurmi’s for more than a decade.

And that character, combining as it did fears of death with fears of female sexuality, both attracted and repelled where it was remembered. Should there be any wonder that this would have been so? No, there were few models of self-defined female performers in the Fifties, and it was her character, Vampira, not herself, that held what fame remained. Vampira’s creator, Finish-American Maila Nurmi kept at a show business career following her TV host stint, including some Los Vegas work with Liberace, but as the 1950s started to conclude, she was getting farther and farther from the brass ring. None of them were exactly like Vampira though, and oddly, all of them were male.

As recounted in that post, by the time her little more than a year of broadcasting fame had wrapped up, the idea of a sardonic costumed character hosting late night showings of horror and SciFi films went nationwide, with dozens of local reflections of that concept. Yesterday, the songs I made from Dave Moore’s cycle of poems about Vampira had taken us up to her short run as the first “horror host” in the early days of television.
