Inktober Day #30 is Vampira who was portrayed by Maila Nurmi. I won’t lie, I didn’t know of Vampira till about 2015 when I decided to look into the history of Elvira and learned that the influence of Elvira originally came from Vampira and I went all in trying to learn all I could about her. It’s such a shame when you read what happened to Maila Nurmi towards the end of her death and how Vampira faded into obscurity as opposed to Elvira and it’s sad because she was just as lovable as Elvira was and both characters are great in their own ways. And her role in Plan 9 from Outer Space, as cheesy as it was, I still enjoyed seeing her in it lol.Anyway, it’s a shame that Vampira wasn’t featured in more things because I loved her dark, seductive, morbid, and witty personality as well as her dark, sleek sense of fashion, Maila Nurmi did a great job portraying this decadent woman of the night. Hopefully her legacy will continue to live on and more people will remember her, I know I will. :)—————————————————————————–Vampira © Maila NurmiArtwork © Myself ~Ratchetjak -- source link
