VANITY REMASTERED ED (2023)

Every great legend has a beginning and horror stories are no different. However, our tale-as it is based on a true story-begins at the very end. The legendary Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory is dead, and gravediggers are assigned to relocate her corpse. But who was she really? Was she a monster or a victim? Here we witness Elizabeth's birth and childhood, and see the earliest moments of her life through her eyes. This includes her first encounter with death and blood that awakens the beasts that lurk in her innocent, yet twisted mind.

The second chapter in the biopic of the legendary Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory depicts her troubled youth and teenage years-the period of uncontrolled passions, the first true love and the first true hatred, the first extramarital pregnancy, the first loss, the first friend and most importantly the first murder. Introduction by Mark Rein-Hagen, creator of Vampire: The Masquerade.

The fourth chapter in the notorious Elizabeth Bathory's biopic graphic novel depicts the horrors of the century in which she lived. It was the age of endless religious wars and xenophobia. Men fought for their lands, faith, and ideologies, while the purpose of women was to give birth and raise more soldiers so that the wars over abstract ideas could go on forever. No wonder there was a woman who decided to stop this cycle-and no wonder she was considered mad.

The infamous Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathori just finished renovating her gothic castle. Guests come to the dark residence, but the most important thing is that servants are required in the castle. Young girls gladly go to serve the respected countess, not suspecting that their mistress has already tasted blood and is deeply immersed in her murderous madness.

Innocent blood has been spilled, marking the beginning the sixth chapter of the notorious Elizabeth Bathory's biopic graphic novel. It also signals a turning point in the Countess Bathory's life, wherein she immerses herself deeply in virgin blood (literally as well as figuratively), compelled by a bloodthirsty madness. But what is madness for some-others regard as genius. In an attempt to find the secret of eternal youth and beauty, Countess Bathory believes she can open a new door to the very foundation of creative alchemy, thereby becoming god-like by this knowledge!

There are rumors that the Hungarian Countess Elisabeth Bathory is drowning in madness. Meanwhile, commoners-in light of her incredible beauty-are already openly calling her a witch. These speculations are more than enough for the Countess's cunning enemies to begin weaving an extensive tangle of intrigues and conspiracies against her. But no matter what fables tarnish Bathory's reputation, the truth is much, much worse.

Elizabeth Bathory is on trial. Her prosecutors claim that she is the Bloody Countess, a monster who personally killed more than six hundred young girls. She is branded a witch who has bathed in the blood of her victims so as to preserve her youth. But is this really true? The court will decide.

The oversized final chapter of the biography of Elizabeth Bathory, the most brutal serial killer in history. The chapter tells of her last days, spent imprisoned in a high tower as punishment for her crimes. This chapter draws together the past, present, and future into a single point of no return that reflects the vast cultural legacy the Blood Countess left behind.
