Good eeeevening creepies! This is my first post, after months of floating about :P

So...

I've always been interested in history, and when I came across an article about THIS infamous woman, I got really interested and wanted to find out more, as not that much is known about her in great detail:

Countess Elizabeth Báthory ( or Erzsébet Báthory in

Yeah, that's pretty much what I know from reading, too. Only thing I would add is that they say, as punishment, she was walled up in her tower alive and left to rot. There has also been a movie made of her that is pretty dang funny.

Stay Alive! It's worth watching, if only for scruffy Milo in the beginning.

It made me LaUgH. Elizabeth Bathory's only meh, but everyone else is pretty fun. (including Milo :) )

'Countess Dracula' is considerably better, at least for simulating the facts...

That is a creepy-cool image. Imagine candelabra for your bathtime soak!

From what I read, her brother was super high up in the papal - which earned her a bit of a get out of jail free card for a lot of it. I think a giant reason she was ever really brought to justice was after running out of peasant girls to kill and drain, she had starting bringing in lesser nobles in some kind of finishing school scam. At the time yes it was horrible she was killing people, but you start picking on the nobility and shit is going to go down that even your brother can't fix.

My mom first told me about her and said that as punishment she was walled up in a room in her castle with only a slot big enough somewhere for food to be pushed through.

I love your icon, by the way. That's hysterical!

I just know her basic history and find it morbidly fascinating. In Slovakia I visited a castle she and her family lived in for a period of time (but not THE castle she did her killings in, although I dont know if any occured there) and we went to the basement prison chamber on the tour...creepy circular room, and looked exactly how you would imagine it, wish I had taken pictures.

I read about her when I was younger and ever since then I've always been fascinated with her history.
