News hit the web late Friday that Maila Nurmi, the actress, model and TV host best known as Vampira, died last week at the age of 86. As always, David Hudson at GreenCine has the most comprehensive round-up of obits; I thought I’d do my part by rounding up a few video clips that demonstrate the original Goth queen’s impact on pop culture. Above, you’ll find a short clip of Vampira’s memorable appearance in Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space. Click through the jump for Vampira minutia courtesy of Tim Burton, Glenn Danzig and more.

Glenn Danzig and The Misfits sing Nurmi’s praises.

Vampira’s success in the 1950s inspired a number of knock-offs in decades to come, none as notable as Elvira, whom Nurmi unsuccessfully sued for “unauthorized use of likeness” in 1989.

Finally, Nurmi herself discusses dating the man who called her a “magnificent carcass,” Orson Welles. “That’s about all I have to say,” she says. “I don’t want to talk about him giving me clap or anything.”
