11 - Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed

This week, we're covering the Guinness World Records most prolific female serial killer in history. Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed was a noblewoman in the Kingdom of Hungary and was alleged to have killed up to 650 young women between 1585 and 1609. "The Blood Countess" was said to have bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her youth and some even say that she may have partly inspired the story of Count Dracula. We cover all of the gruesome details and some of the most interesting merchandise of a serial killer so far.
