Countess Elizabeth Báthory is widely regarded as one of the world’s most prolific serial killers. She’s said to have murdered more than 650 young women while bathing in the blood of her unfortunate victims. But are these legends based in reality or legends created to vilify a powerful woman? Was the real Elizabeth a bloodthirsty killer, innocent victim or somewhere in between? 

Jenn walks Joe through the truth behind the vampiric legends and misconceptions about one of history’s most notorious figures.
