Based on a true and terrifying story
Step inside the chilling world of Elizabeth Báthory, a noblewoman whose name still echoes in whispers across Eastern Europe. Born into privilege, she was destined for power—but behind the castle walls, something far darker took root.
As her obsession with youth and control grew, Elizabeth's cruelty turned to horror. With the help of twisted companions and blinded by her own vanity, she lured hundreds of young girls into a nightmarish fate. Rumors of blood rituals, secret torture chambers, and forbidden experiments haunted the countryside—and the truth was even more horrifying.
This gripping and humanized retelling reveals the woman behind the monster. Was Elizabeth Báthory a misunderstood victim of a patriarchal society, or a cold-blooded killer consumed by madness?
Rich in atmosphere and deeply suspenseful, The House of Báthory is a chilling descent into history's darkest legend.
