Episode description
Sonia and Brittney dive into the history books to research and discuss The Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. Considered one of the inspirations of Bram Stoker's Dracula, she is in the Guinness Book of World Records for most murders in history. A woman of great power and influence, Elizabeth used her great military prowess to gather a following of young women who would become fodder for her violent desires. Fact? Or a revisionist history by influential men looking to disregard Elizabeth's tremendous influence?
