well... *if* it is a real list, I'll have to see the sculpts. None of those "monsters" appeal to me by name. I had to look up who Elizabeth Bathory was, as I had never heard of her... some vampire chick it turns out. Who knows. I've been surprised before...

Elizabeth Bathory
Her mood deteriorated markedly and one day, as she viciously struck a servant girl for a minor oversight, she drew blood when her pointed nails raked the girl's cheek. The wound was serious enough that some of the blood got onto Elizabeth's skin. Later, Elizabeth was quite sure that that part of her own body - where the girl's blood had dropped - looked fresher somehow; younger, brighter and more pliant.
Immediately she consulted her alchemists for their opinion on the phenomenon. They, of course, were enjoying her hospitality and did not wish to disappoint, so, fortunately, they did recall a case many many years before and in a distant place where the blood of a young virgin had caused a similar effect on an aged (but generous) personage of nobility and good grace.
With such clear evidence at hand, Elizabeth was convinced that here was a brilliant discovery; a method to restore and preserve her youthful glow forever, or at least until she got what she wanted. The advice of her 'beauty consultant,' a woman named Katarina, concurred that her clever realization was most surely sound.
Elizabeth reasoned that if a little was good, then a lot would be better: she firmly believed that if she bathed in the blood of young virgins -- and in the case of especially pretty ones, drank it -- she would be gloriously beautiful and strong once again.
For years, Elizabeth's trusted helper in her various secret pleasures had been Dorotta Szentes. Now with her, and other 'witches' to help carry the load, Elizabeth roamed the countryside by night, hunting for suitable virginal girls as raw material for her difficult quest.
When back in the castle, each batch of young girls would be hung, alive and naked, upside-down by chains wrapped around their ankles. Their throats would be slit and all of their blood drained for Elizabeth's bath, to be taken while the heat of their young bodies still remained in the thickening and sticky crimson pool.
And every now and then, a really lovely young girl would be obtained. As a special treat, Elizabeth would drink the child's blood: at first from a golden flask, but later, as her taste for it increased, directly from the stream, as the writhing and whimpering body hung from the rafters, turning pale.
Even though we got the list..........
(who woulda guessed this one!)
I'm sure the pics in my head don't line up with the actual toys.
Can't wait till Friday!!!!!
Vlad & Attila are must haves for me. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
...I'm cool with it, and I am pretty hyped about Erzabet...
...well, that is assuming that she is relatively respectable looking, and doesn't have a circular saw shoved up her twat, electrodes in place of her nipples, a food processor sticking out of her neck and a 1957 Cadillac bumper welded to her spine. -_-
Oh! It is a Hammer flick-
