She was most noted for bathing in the blood of peasant girls, believing it kept her young.

In Hammer’s Countess Dracula, Elisabeth (Ingrid Pitt) discovers that her youthful appearance can be temporarily restored if she bathes in the blood of young, virgin women. She enlists her steward, Captain Dobi, to help with the kidnap and murder of countless local girls. As a cover for her crimes while in her rejuvenated state, she takes the identity of her own daughter; a plan that spirals out of control when her actual daughter, Ilona, returns home.

Ingrid revelled in the lead role but had reservations about the film not keeping with the Bathory legend: “I don’t think it was cruel enough, horrifying enough it needed more throat slashing and blood.”

Christopher Lee starred as the vampire, opposite Peter Cushing as Van Hesling. The film helped to make Lee an international star, and he returned to his most famous role in six Hammer sequels.

Here Mina (Melissa Stribling) succumbs to the vampire Count in Dracula (1958).

Although Dracula would help to make Christopher Lee a star, Peter Cushing was top-billed as vampire hunter Van Helsing and claimed, “I played the part more or less as myself.”
