LIVE from Scaredycon! Women in Horror and the Real Life Stories Behind Them!

The first! Ever! Live! Episode!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out and made Scaredycon so much fun to be at, a million thanks to Taproom-120 for hosting, ScaredyCast and everyone else for putting this together. I had a great time being part of it and 100000% can't wait for the next one.

In this episode we talk about women from horror movies who's stories were inspired by real life events. First off is the movie The Orphan, and her real life counterpart Barbara Skrlova (have you guys heard about this one? A lot of people know it’s based on a real story but don’t know the story itself so I thought this would be an interesting one to do.)

Then, leaning into the more spooky things, we’ve got Veronica a 2017 supernatural horror film loosely based on the 1991 Vallecas case when Estafania Gutierrez Lazaro mysteriously died after using a ouija board.

Let's get spooky.

The Murderess Lady Gucci | The Seductive Succubus

The Murderess Lady Gucci | The Seductive Succubus

This week we’re going in to the realm of demonology, and talking about the creature known as a succubus. Our murderess of the day is Gucci. Alright, that’s a bad joke, but her name is Patrizia Reggiani, and she’s also known as Lady Gucci, because the man she had murdered was her husband who was the heir to the Gucci fashion label!  Yeah, this is going to be a good one.

Female Dracula: Countess Bathory and Bloody Mary

Female Dracula: Countess Bathory and Bloody Mary

Today we have two very  interesting ladies who I’ve been wanting to cover for a while now. Our murderess of the day is known as the Female Dracula, none other than the Countess Elizabeth Bathory. Our mythology is a woman who’s considered to be just as bloody, the legend of Bloody Mary. Yes, I did pair them up for the sake of that pun. Let me have my fun!

Tamara Samsonova: Baba Yaga/The Granny Ripper

Tamara Samsonova: Baba Yaga/The Granny Ripper

This episode’s theme is brought to us by the tale of Baba Yaga. And, imagine my surprise, when I found out that there is actually a Russian serial killer who is nicknamed Baba Yaga! And she was 68 years old when she was arrested in 2015, which makes her close to 72 now. Also known as The Granny Killer, her real name is Tamara Samsonova, and her story is one that is also full of mysteries. For example, did she really cannibalize parts of her victims?
