His claim that Bathory played a major role in the genesis of Stoker's novel is astonishing, given that it is difficult to argue even for a minor role.
Even Bathory's most recent biographer, Tony Thorne, suggests that Stoker downplays the connection because "a hundred years ago for a writer like Stoker, the idea of choosing as a heroine a blood-obsessed lesbian mass-murderess would have been a short cut to literary obscurity" (8).
Before you know it, Bathory and Vlad have become twin prototypes for all vampires, as in this doubly nonsensical statement: "The first reported vampires were real historical figures in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Eastern Europe: Elizabeth of Bathory and Vlad the Impaler" (Brownworth and Redding ix).

The creators of the upcoming horror film Stay Alive told SCI FI Wire that some crew members claim to have been possessed by the spirit of the so-called "blood countess" Elizabeth de Bathory, a Romanian noblewoman said to have killed virgins to bathe in their blood and the inspiration for the movie.
Stay Alive—which is set in New Orleans and was one of the last films shot there before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina—is based in part on the myth of the 17th-century noblewoman de Bathory, who is accused of killing 650 virgin girls and bathing in their blood in an effort to stay young.
De Bathory, who is thought to be one of the inspirations for Bram Stoker's Dracula, supposedly haunted the film's crew.

What ensues is death by video game--and a movie that recalls too many elements of "The Ring," "Scream," "BloodRayne" (which also was inspired by Bathory's story), and the "Final Destination" movies to suit.
