A documentary about the iconic horror host with the dagger-like fingernails, arched eyebrows and impossibly thin waist, Maila Nurmi, better known as Vampira. There's precious little archive footage, but the candid words from an older, still charismatic Maili make up for it. She’s an interviewer’s dream subject; she talks and talks, pulling fascinating anecdotes from her store of personal memories without repeated prompting. There’s some less interesting words from other people intercut throughout, telling of how they were influenced by her over the years.
