“She was a Hungarian noblewoman who has been described as the most vicious female serial killer in all recorded history. She tortured and murdered hundreds of young women in the 16th and 17th centuries. She believed that drinking the blood of young girls would preserve her youthfulness and her looks. Oh, and also to bathe in their blood.”
