Atmospheric Life Magazine shots of Ottola Nesmith in character as The Old Woman on the set of KTLA's "Nightmare" in the late '50s. Nesmith arrived in the wake of Vampira's departure from the network. She did her batty thing on this terrific garret stage that, while spooky, was also quaintly inviting with all its antique touches.

'Tis Now The Very Witching Time of Night: Ottola Nesmith as The Old Woman, hostess of KTLA's "Nightmare!" in the late '50s. The demented character dwelled in a garret, her schtick being that she would claim to be the leading lady in whatever film she was hosting that evening. Mae Clark of "Frankenstein" would file a lawsuit against both Nesmith and the station, accusing Nesmith of impersonating and defaming her as a "washed-up has-been."
