Shades of Erzebet and Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth I's birthday is this month, a pertinent character of Erzebet's era.  Also, the new Disney Descendant's dolls, featuring dolls that are the children of Disney Villains, include Mal, daughter of Maleficent, and Evie, daughter of The Evil Queen.   They were inspired by the July 2015 Disney Channel Film of the same name. The tie-ins with the Erzebet legends and Grimm's Fairy Tales is well-known.  These dolls re-enforce the allusions.  I wonder if we will ever see Erzebet as a Disney character.

On another note, The Community of Bathory Scholars and Enthusiasts seems to have been very quiet. I wonder why that is.  With Halloween, the vampire and Countess  costumes abound, as do the Vampire dolls.  Here are couple of mine for you to enjoy.

As always, we welcome comments and followers!  Our numbers are growing!

A Snatch of Witchy Fiction

As we speak, I just wrote the following hook:  "Ho do I get myself into these things?" sighed Mariah.  she was an unemployed fee lance journalist attempting to land a job in marketing with a local cosmetic company.  Her mission, f she chose to accept it, and the audition/interview, was to demonstrate witchy nail colors for Halloween. She had to name them appropriately, a book of spells borrowed from her Pagan witch neighbor to inspire her, and the VHS tape about to be devoured in the VCR that would record her submission.  "Come to me, Greymalkin," she mused."
