Vampira and Me
“The First Goth. The Last Icon.”
Synopsis
Though most people knew her as Vampira, a late-night, creature-feature host in Los Angeles, Maila Nurmi was so much more. From her relationships with James Dean and other Hollywood luminaries to her significant contributions to the eventual Goth craze, Nurmi was a multifaceted woman, with more than a few amazing stories to share. Having befriended Nurmi while she was still alive, Greene finds himself perfectly situated to give us the complete story on this fascinating individual, blending extensive interviews with remarkable found footage of Nurmi's long and varied career. Whether being groomed by a major Hollywood director or making a surprising foray into music, Nurmi proves herself to be so much more than a scream queen. Still, when it comes to snappy one-liners cracked at the stroke of midnight, it's certainly safe to say that no one did it better than Vampira.

How many films will I watch in 2017. Here is the place to find out. This year, the list's name has been provided by Aaron the Robot . . . who is too lame to have a letterboxd account. Addendum: Halfway through 2017, I would definitely say this is the year of horror/exploitation films. Video Nasties, 80's monster movies, slasher films and 70's grindhouse specials have been heavily featured in this list so far this year . . . and there seems to be no sign of stopping anytime soon!
