An Oldie but Goodie, and a Shorty


Bewitched and Bathory

 

 

Another reference on Erzebet on Elizabeth Montgomery’s show; the Crone of Cawdor arrives to steal others’ youth to retain her own.  Aside from the obvious allusion to Macbeth and the Hag or Crone myth, the story as told by Samantha has the Cone start out as a young woman cursed to be a hag and locked up in a tower on a mountain peak in Carpathia for eternity.  Sounds familiar, doesn’t it.  Also, note the similarities to Rapunzel
