Hungarian serial killer Elizabeth Báthory, allegedly a bather in the blood of virgins in a quest for eternal youth around the turn of the 17th century, was the subject of a recent You’re Wrong About podcast episode. Does that mean this 1981 “Disneyfied goth retelling” of her story, as AFS puts it, may not be based on fact? Can we even call her a serial killer? Perhaps ol’ Liz is due for a name-clearing, and her story is certainly ripe for revisiting via this strikingly told tale from Slovakia’s “father of animation,” Viktor Kubal. – Kat McNevins
