Listen Later

Welcome to the Vampira Show! Actually, it's just us discussing the amazing cult secret that was The Vampira Show in all its 1950s L.A. glory. Karamia tells Emily how Vampira, with her corseted waist, bat-sleeves, iconic eyebrows, and blood-curdling scream, shook up the vanilla world of 1950s television and  became an inspiration for the genre of horror-hosts to come!
