The Bloody Lady Synopsis
This underseen gem of vampiric 80s Slovak animation is a cult classic in the making, inventively recounting the bloody tale of Elisabeth Báthory. Stompbox is proud to present the Canadian Premiere of a new restoration of Viktor Kubal’s THE BLOODY LADY, featuring a live score by acclaimed pianist Brendan Swanson!
Lady Elisabeth Báthory lives a charmed life in a resplendent Romanesque castle, surrounded by Disney-esque wildlife and a colorful cast of obliging servants. Taking ill one day while traveling through the forest, she’s nursed back to health by a handsome woodsman, and in gratitude gifts him with her own heart. But Lady Báthory’s sunny disposition quickly turns murderous and vampiric once she discovers the secret to heart-less eternal youth lies in draining the blood of young men and women.
