Trivia

The character Countess Elizabeth Bartley was probably named and based on the real-life Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian Countess in the 16th century. Known as "The Blood Countess", she was said to have killed over 650 young women and bathed in their blood in order to retain her youthful looks (people referred to this as vampirism). She was eventually caught and was imprisoned in her castle for the rest of her life, sealed behind a wall with only a small opening for food to be passed through. She died at the age of 54.
