No one remember the 20 or so other horror hosts that came between Vampira and Elvira and were all similar. Then there is Carol Borland in Mark of the Vampire in the
the 30s. Lily Munster was modeled on her and Universal didnt even own the character. Even the early Catwoman has a black satin gown and long gams.
Agreed. She has even admitted that she also took ideas from The Dragon Lady in Terry and the Pirates. So, in Vampira's mind, combining two comic characters isn't stealing but a vague similarity to someone who DID is stealing. Maila Nurmi was a major weirdo. Cassandra Peterson created the character on a whim and was most original and different from Vampira. Her personality is very different. Her hairstyle/wigs are the most unique aspect of Elvira. No way she stole that
@drbotanus Yeah I think Elvira liked the Adam's Family and as well I think there is some what of a BeWitched influence going on here, when she is doing her make up it looks just like BeWitches mother on the show, which I think also influenced Madame Medusa the Animated character in Disney's the Rescuers.
I love how people always hate on Elvira because of that nasty Vampira business. No disrespect to Vampira, she was the original after all. But really? Who's show ran longer, and who's career was more successful? Elvira isn't the Queen of Halloween for nothing! And really, 59 years old doing a brand new season in 2010 all the while looking as fabulous as she ever did. Go Elvira!
Damn, she's so hot with and without the costume.

@Ladygagsalot You can see her without the Elvira make-up as a biker chick in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
