The Lady Is a Vamp...and a Witch

Kristin Bauer van Straten is taken her time off as Pam, one of HBO’s True Blood MVPs, to get a little wicked.

Maker that more wicked.

The actress has signed on to guest on the upcoming ABC fantasy Once Upon a Time, which stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison, as Maleficent, the evil sorceress from Sleeping Beauty.

Bauer van Straten is set to appear on the show’s second episode airing late next month.
