ERZSÉBET BÁTHORY: LA CONTESSA VAMPIRA - Speciale Halloween

650. This is the number of victims said to have been killed by the woman considered the most prolific serial killer in history. Not just any woman, but a countess... belonging to one of the most powerful families in 16th-century Hungary. Erzsébet Bathory, an Eastern European noblewoman, driven by an obsessive pursuit of youth. Hers was a macabre race against time that drove her to commit acts so horrendous that her name became immortal. Witnesses of the time spoke of screams coming from the castle dungeons that never ceased, not even at night. Those screams belonged to the Countess's young servants... who then disappeared, inexorably, one after the other... All that remained of them were tubs full of blood... in which Bathory is said to have regularly bathed. A human sacrifice made with one purpose: to allow the Countess to stop time and achieve eternal beauty. Even today, it is said that her ghost wanders her ancient home at night. But is the story of the Vampire Countess just legend or pure, terrifying truth? To find out, we must delve into late-16th-century Hungary, an era of instability, absolute power, and terror.
