Horror fans will know that Maila Nurmi as Vampira was TV's first horror host(ess). Her show first aired on L.A.'s KABC-TV on April 30, 1954. THE VAMPIRA SHOW only lasted a year, but it still has a cult following to this day. She never opened the Bar Sinister that she mentions in the article, but an L.A. club bearing the Viva Vampira Bar Sinister name is still operating in her honor. You can't get any more cultish than that!
This article is from TV GUIDE for the week of July 17-25 July 1954.
