In the 80s, the Elvira Show was released with Cassandra Peterson in the lead role. It combined humor, horror, and light erotica. The show turned out to be so popular that they decided to make a full-length film about the girl. It turned out to be an excellent comedy with funny jokes. The story centers on Elvira, who was looking for a way to earn money to put on her own show in Las Vegas. At the end of the film, she appeared in a revealing outfit that looked more like underwear. This is the image that Anna Shakhovskaya brought to life.

Elvira's appearance of her own show caused discontent among Maila Nurmi, known for her role as Vampira. She hosted a similar show in the 50s. The actress even sued Cassandra Peterson for plagiarism, but lost the case. It is worth noting that Mayla herself is also quite popular in the gothic culture. However, she was less lucky with cinema than Elvira. Apart from cameos and small roles, the only one worth mentioning is Edward Wood Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space, which is considered one of the worst films of all time. Ladybell cosplayed Vampira.

The vampire theme is continued by the alien from the planet Drakulon. She also felt sympathy for people and decided to protect them from their own kind. At the same time, the beauty loves to wear revealing clothes, which are more reminiscent of a one-piece swimsuit. Interestingly, the authors of the original comics once tried to dress Vampirella more modestly. But this caused discontent among readers, and sales of graphic novels dropped noticeably. So money won over the momentary trends to abandon hot female heroines. And the artists had to return to the original image. It was this that Oichi brought to life.
