cture the creepiest, most psychotic woman you can imagine. You might think Aileen Wuornos sets the bar for “batshit insane,” but just wait, because I’m about to introduce you to a Hungarian countess who rewrote the rulebook on what it means to be a “bad boss.” Her name? Elizabeth Bathory. And trust me, she makes even the scariest horror movie villains look like amateurs.
Born into the powerful Báthory family in late 16th-century Hungary, Elizabeth had everything a noblewoman could ask for—money, sprawling land, fancy status, and apparently, a deeply twisted obsession with blood and suffering. You’d think someone with all that privilege might, I dunno, chill a bit, maybe pick up gardening or needlepoint. Nope. Elizabeth was about as chill as a vampire in a sunlight convention.
So, of cour
