Czechoslovakia, 1980, Viktor Kubal

From Victor Kubal, the Father of Slovak animation, comes a retelling of the folk tale about the infamous Lady Elisabeth Bathory and the Čachtická castle. Widely thought to be one of the key inspirations for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the story is about a noblewoman accused of murdering hundreds of young people and using their blood to sustain eternal life. The film is a bewitching fusion of gothic horror and classic children’s animation. Subtitles. 72 min.
