In the premiere episode of The Femme Fatal, we tell the dark and legendary story of Elizabeth Báthory, the infamous “Blood Countess” whose name has become synonymous with power, cruelty, and gothic horror. From aristocratic privilege to chilling folklore, we cover the real history behind one of the most notorious women in true crime.

We also explore Elizabeth’s pop culture legacy, including films inspired by her story and the music she has influenced, before closing with our signature astrological autopsy where we look at the planetary placements that may help explain her personality, vanity, and thirst for control.
