R.I.P. Maila Nurmi

[laura_seabrook]

Maila Nurmi, who played the character Vampira on TV and in the film Plan 9 from Outer Space, died on the 10th.

Along with "Morticia Addams" (as played by Carolyn Jones) and  Elsa Lanchester's "Bride", I think her Vampira character was one of the main original visual influences for female Goth fashion, and was the direct inspiration of Cassandra Peterson's "Elvira".
