Elizabeth Báthory

It's in this that she returns to Lizzie after her sister left and in the show they're basically co-conspirators in the murder and did it due to humiliation, misery and the controlling stepmother Abby and also what Andrew did.

The murders are far more drawn out as well and the figures are inspired by the stories of Elizabeth Bathory.

Her story could have really been its own entire video, but they take a lot of historical liberties with that as well.

It's very gothic though, and Bathory was thought to have enslaved and murdered hundreds of girls.

Others connect the spirit of... to Mary Worth, a legendary witch from the Salem trials.

Or to Elizabeth Bathory, the Hungarian countess infamous for bathing in the blood of young girls to preserve her youth.

Long before she became a terrifying monster, the mirror game was actually a harmless divination ritual practiced by young women in the early 1900s.

They would walk backward upstairs carrying a candle and a mirror, hoping to catch a glimpse of their future husband's face in the glass.

[laughs]

Like, uh, Elizabeth Bathory with her bathtub full of blood.

It's how you keep your skin nice.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I think that's also just, like, a, a monster thing is, like, like, the wicked witch who, like, kills, like, like-

...

Yeah.

You know?

Is the money good in power slap? I don't want to know the figures, but is it good or is it building? You know what I'm saying?

Well, I heard some organization pay really bad fighters.

So compared to that, I think power slap play is good.

Cheers.

This film follows a group of friends who decide to play a killer video game based on the legend of the Countess of Blood, Elizabeth Bathory.

Also, can I just say one thing, too? When I was growing up and when this came out, my little neighborhood friend group, we were very, very convinced that our complex, our little gated community was living right next door to Bloody Mary.

So we kind of associated Bloody Mary a little bit with Elizabeth Bathory, if that makes any sense.

So I think this also was that much more scary because we had an old woman that lived next to us that we were convinced was Bloody Mary.

Yeah.

Yes, we're flying into this video game.

I love it.

i thought was going to be one of the childhood horrors or traumas i guess is that all those heads they just look at you and then she switches heads yeah so she's like

she's a serial killer She's collecting trophies.

She does have a distinctive Elizabeth Batchery vibe, doesn't she? She's just like, she might not be bathing in blood, but she is collecting heads.
