Elizabeth (Blood) Bathory

Sonia and Brittney dive into the history books to research and discuss The Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. Considered one of the inspirations of Bram Stoker's Dracula, she is in the Guinness Book of World Records for most murders in history. A woman of great power and influence, Elizabeth used her great military prowess to gather a following of young women who would become fodder for her violent desires. Fact? Or a revisionist history by influential men looking to disregard Elizabeth's tremendous influence?

About your hosts

Brittney Sherman

Profile picture for Brittney Sherman
A murderino since early in life, Brittney grew up in Wisconsin and her fascination with true crime started from her parents. Her dad’s favorite show was Unsolved Mysteries and he loved reading about true crime, and her mom’s favorites were 20/20 and Dateline. Originally freaked out, Brittney grew into the fascination over the years, and particularly the psychology of the criminals behind the crimes. 



Now, a veteran of the entertainment industry, Brittney has worked behind the scenes on Emmy winning shows and #1 movies. Driven by her passion for entertainment, and the ability to provide content as escapism, whether they are on their commute to work, grieving and seeking solace, or blocking out pain in a hospital bed, Brittney strives for excellence and the ability to entertain at the highest level.
