The Winner of Miss American Vampire, 1970
We have all heard of Miss America. But what about Miss American Vampire? The text on the image says, “Christina Domenecki, part-time model from Belleview, NJ, has been selected for the first regional winner in MGM’s nationwide search for Miss American Vampire to reign in The House of Dark Shadows film based on the daytime serial.”
So basically, this contest only ran for one year, in 1970, because it was a marketing stunt to promote the movie. After winning the contest, she was able to earn a cameo on the Dark Shadows TV series. This win is often contested, saying that actress Sacheen Littlefeather actually won Miss American Vampire when the finals took place in Los Angeles. Obviously, Christina Domenecki was on the east coast when she was crowned in New York, and she was the one who ended up on TV.
