October 25, Thursday, 7:30pm - 12:30am, at The Haunted Hawthorne Hotel
Taste the unholy wine as you sip from the sin of Countess Bathoria, who ravenously descends upon the Witch City. Said to be born in 1574 to the Countess Erzsébet Báthory, a tyrant who bathed in the blood of over 600 servant girls in hopes that she might prolong her beauty, the dark Countess flies to us from her lair in Montreal where she stars in a host of horror movies in her guise of scream queen Melantha Blackthorne. The alluring Countess Bathoria will show the world that there is wonder working power in the blood!
Step through the mists of insanity and hearken to the foreboding call of gothic music as it beckons you to surrender to the darkest caress of sharp teeth upon your tender neck. Our theme—The Hotel of Blood—celebrates the Ball's first year at Salem's Haunted Hawthorne Hotel, where no mortal can escape the terror of the undead!
