A DAY TO HONOR VAMPIRA!
From 4pm to 11pm, Saturday October 24th, 2009!
As part of the big Hollywood Forever Cemetery "Dia De Los Muertos" celebration,
The Horror Drunx present our 2nd Annual "Dia De La Maila"!
Come to the grave site of Maila "VAMPIRA" Nurmi in the Griffith Lawn section of the
Cemetery, to pay your respects at her Day Of The Dead altar. Meet her close long-time
friend Sid Terror, who will be there sharing his rememberances of the lady.
For those who get there early, Maila's neice Sandra Niemi will be there from 5-6pm, sharing an original poem written by Maila, as well as some of her other writings, and an excerpt from a biography of her that is still in progress and is yet untitled.
Maila's grave is also adjacent to that of actor Darren McGavin of THE NIGHT STALKER and A CHRISTMAS STORY fame. We have the full cooperation of his family and will be including his gravesite and creating a separate alter for him as part of our festivities.
This is a part of the much bigger 10th Anniversary DAY OF THE DEAD celebration going on at Hollywood Forever that day, so there will be food, bands, costumes, and plenty of goodies to buy! Admission to the entire event is only $10, a large portion of which goes toward the preservation of Hollywood Forever, home to the final resting places of many entertinment icons dating back to the silent movie days.
