The most common <a href="/wiki/Motif_(literature)" class="mw-redirect" title="Motif (literature)">motif</a> of these works was that of the countess bathing in her victims' blood in order to retain beauty or youth. Frequently, the cruel countess would discover the secret of blood bathing when she slapped a female servant in rage, splashing parts of her own skin with blood. Upon removal of the blood, that portion of skin would seem younger and more beautiful than before. </p><p>This legend appeared in print for the first time in 1729, in the <a href="/wiki/Jesuit" class="mw-redirect" title="Jesuit">Jesuit</a> scholar László Turóczi's <i>Tragica Historia</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-Turóczi1729_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Turóczi1729-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the first written account of the Báthory case. </p><p>When quoting him in his 1742 history book, Matthias Bel<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> was sceptical about this particular detail,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> he nevertheless helped the legend to spread. Subsequent writers of history and fiction alike often identified <a href="/wiki/Vanity" title="Vanity">vanity</a> as the sole motivation for Báthory's crimes. </p><p>Modern historians Radu Florescu and Raymond T. McNally have concluded that the theory Báthory murdered on account of her vanity sprang up from contemporary <a href="/wiki/Prejudice" title="Prejudice">prejudices</a> about <a href="/wiki/Gender_roles" class="mw-redirect" title="Gender roles">gender roles</a>. Women were not believed to be capable of violence for its own sake. At the beginning of the 19th century, the vanity motif was first questioned, and <a href="/wiki/Sadistic_personality_disorder" title="Sadistic personality disorder">sadistic</a> pleasure was considered a far more plausible motive for Báthory's crimes.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1817, the witness accounts (which had surfaced in 1765) were published for the first time,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> demonstrating that the bloodbaths or blood seeker for vanity aspect of Báthory's crimes were legend rather than fact. </p><p>The legend nonetheless persisted in the popular imagination. Some versions of the story were told with the purpose of denouncing female vanity, while other versions aimed to entertain or thrill their audience. Some versions of the story incorporated even more elaborate <a href="/wiki/Torture_chamber" title="Torture chamber">torture chamber</a> fantasies than recorded history could provide, such as the use of an <a href="/wiki/Iron_maiden_(torture_device)" class="mw-redirect" title="Iron maiden (torture device)">iron maiden</a>, which were not based on the evidence from Báthory's trial. <a href="/wiki/Leopold_von_Sacher-Masoch" title="Leopold von Sacher-Masoch">Leopold von Sacher-Masoch</a>, whose name inspired the term <a href="/wiki/Sadomasochism" title="Sadomasochism">masochism</a>, was inspired by the Báthory legend to write his 1874 novella <i>Ewige Jugend</i> ("eternal youth")<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bathory also appears as the main antagonist in the novel <i><a href="/wiki/Dracula_the_Un-dead" title="Dracula the Un-dead">Dracula the Un-dead</a></i>, a sequel to <a href="/wiki/Bram_Stoker" title="Bram Stoker">Bram Stoker</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Dracula" title="Dracula">classic novel</a> by his great-grandnephew <a href="/wiki/Dacre_Stoker" title="Dacre Stoker">Dacre Stoker</a> and Ian Holt.

The first connections were made to promote works of fiction by linking them to the already commercially successful <a href="/wiki/Dracula" title="Dracula">Dracula</a> story. Thus, a 1970 movie based on Báthory and the bloodbath or blood seeker for vanity myth was titled <i><a href="/wiki/Countess_Dracula" title="Countess Dracula">Countess Dracula</a></i>. </p><p>Some Báthory biographers, McNally in particular, have tried to establish the bloodbath myth and the historical Elizabeth Báthory as a source of influence for <a href="/wiki/Bram_Stoker" title="Bram Stoker">Bram Stoker</a>'s 1897 novel <i><a href="/wiki/Dracula" title="Dracula">Dracula</a></i>, pointing to similarities in settings and motifs and the fact that Stoker might have read about her.
