Maila Nurmi portrayed "Vampira" on Channel 7 in L.A. in 1953-4. She was the original ghoulish host which spawned many imitators including "Elvira". Vampira sadly passed away on 1-10-2008 after 86 years on this planet. I remember sneaking out of bed and hiding behind the couch so I could watch her as this was a late night program. I would get caught by my mother usually, but was able to watch many times without getting caught.
