The year is 1863, the news of a young girl ending her life by jumping into a river in Padova in Italy is heard by anatomist Lodovico Brunetti. He requested that her body was sent to him so that he could carry out some experiments. Brunetti had come up with his own way of preserving anatomical specimens by drying them out and injecting them with tannic acid. The first thing he did when the girls body was brought to him was make a plaster cast of her face and upper bust. After that he then peeled her skin from her neck and head (he was careful to keep the girls hair in tact) and treated it with his own tannic acid formula. Once the skin was fully treated he layed it over the plaster cast he had created and placed glass eyes where her real eyes once were. Brunetti noticed that unfortunately the girls skin had cuts and gashes in it probably made when she was being dragged from the river with hooks, so he decided to disguise them. It wasn't unusual in this time for anatomy and art to become one, he decided to turn his creation into an art piece with an "important message" behind it. He placed tannised snakes, short branches and red wax on the girl and made them look like they were twisting in and out of her skin, the wax being used for blood. He called this "The Punished Suicide" as it was meant to show the hell waiting for people who took their own lives. Many people saw suicide as one of the greatest sins a person could commit so of course he got praise for his work. Most shocking of all, the girls parents were the first people he showed his creation to and they absolutely loved it and congratulated him for his amazing work. They were not at all upset about what this man had done to their young daughter. Years later he took his work to france where it was displayed at the universal exposition that thousands of people from all over the world attended and again he got much praise from people, so much so that he won the Grand Prix in the Arts and Professions.

Elizabeth Báthory was a Hungarian countess born in Transylvania. She was nicknamed the blood countess as it is said that she would bathe in the blood of young, female virgins to stay young forever. It's also rumoured that she would drink their blood for the same purpose. This fact has been said to have made her one of the main the inspirations for characters such as Count Dracula. (a long with Vlad the Impaler) Although her bathing in the blood of virgins cannot be confirmed, it has still become a big part in the folklore surrounding her and is one of the main reason she is remembered and has become a twisted icon in pop culture, especially in the world of horror film. She was labeled by Guinness World Records as the most prolific female murderer. It's alledged that she tortured and murdered multiple young girls in the 16th and 17th centuries. The exact number of victims cannot be found but its said to be well into the hundreds, she was charged with 80 counts. Her crimes were verified by about 300 witnesses and survivors, also the physical evidence found (the horribly mutilated dead bodies and the dying, imprisoned girls found at the time of her arrest). Bathing in and drinking the blood of her victims is not the only thing she was said to have done. Other inhumane acts carried out by her include: • cannibalism • severe beatings • starving victims to death • freezing victims to death • burning her victims • mutilating her victims • biting her victims • sticking victims with needles • covering her victims in honey and live ants • cutting victims with knives and razors and many other forms of torture. it is believed her first victims were around the ages of 10-14. Her victims were usually the daughters of peasants or lesser gentry. Apparently inbreeding was in her bloodline which had an affect (seizures, fits of rage etc.) on her and also produced other sadistic characters in her family. At the age of 15 she got married to Count Ferenc Nádasdy. Her wedding gift from him was the Castle of Csejte. Her acts of cruelty are said to have started when her husband was away at war and she was finding her ways to amuse herself. Ferenc Nádasdy died in 1604 and the rumours began to spread about what she had been doing but, was she a victim herself? Some believe that this was a politically motivated rumour spread about her due to her ownership of large areas of land and extreme wealth. In 1609 she and the servants who had assisted her in torturing and murdering the young girls were arrested. The servents were all put on trial, Elizabeth was not. Three of the servants were executed while Elizabeth was confined to her chambers in her home, Castle C̆achtice until she died age 54. The night before her death she complained to her bodyguard that her hands were cold but she was told it was nothing and to go lay down. She never got back up again. She was buried at the church of Csejte but was apparently moved to the Báthory family crypt due to an uproar from the public. However, it is unknown where her body actually is. so, what do you think? Was Elizabeth a cannibalistic vampire countess who bathed in and drank the blood of her victims to stay young forever? Was she just a sadistic serial killer who enjoyed torturing young girls? Or was she a victim of politically motivated slander? That's been left for us to decide.
