Wel27 47 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The one thing i am thinking about is, that bates had a similar role as delphine lalaurie... she also tortured slaves and used them blood to stay "young"... kind of reductive, isnt it? God, now I realised why it's so familiar haha. I forgot they already did that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblondee 3,695 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 PLEASE. I absolutely love the story behind Elizabeth, and it'd be a great storyline on AHS, tbh. I can see them loosely basing her character off her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy McQueen 4,484 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Bathory's biography is not exactly true. It was a conspiracy against her, by Count Thurzo. The political intrigues behind it are quite violent, it is about control and controlled by the Habsburgs part of Hungary, where the Nadasdys were extremely dominant (although protestant).

Mitch XCX 1,038 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Sorry if AP, but by now I'm pretty much 99% sure Gaga is going to be playing an updated version of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a serial killer who was born in 1560 in Nyírbátor, Hungary. There have been many documentaries and films made about Bathory, specifically a modern day Bathory is portrayed in Hostel 2. It was said that she enjoyed torturing and killing young girls. At first they were servants at her castles, daughters of the local peasants, but later they included girls sent to her by local gentry families to learn good manners. She believed that drinking the blood of young girls would preserve her youthfulness and her looks. Witnesses told of her stabbing victims or biting their breasts, hands, faces and arms, cutting them with scissors, sticking needles into their lips or burning them with red-hot irons, coins or keys. Some were beaten to death and some were starved. The story that Elizabeth used to bathe in their blood seems to have been added later on.- See more at: http://www.historytoday.com/richard-cavendish/death-countess-elizabeth-bathory#sthash.pt7ItOOr.dpuf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed 7,716 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Well that definitely sounds like a possibility. You know how AHS is with real life influences and secret hints Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 15,677 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I made a thread about this a few weeks ago but yes I believe she may be, if she isn't then there's most definitely inspiration there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip 5,100 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm pretty sure she is. There's also a character inspired in a serial killer called Aileen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroglamx 5,169 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I hope she is slightly based on this character but the blood drinking part reminds me too much of Madame LaLaurie from Coven. Pink flamingos always fascinated me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 25,838 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It's been discussed multiple times, and we've basically had confirmation today from Entertainment Weekly that her character is indeed inspired by Bathory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahoTheMnstr 141 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 God, now I realised why it's so familiar haha. I forgot they already did that...Delphine LaLaurie was also a real life famous murderer. Similar, but two different real serial killers from different times.
