I'm watching, and loving, The Orville to get my Star Trek fix because there's no Star Trek show on right now as far as I'm concerned.

#202
I was able to figure this one out but I didn't know it until searching. Is that acceptable?

Quote from: Sinitrena on Thu 12/10/2017 19:15:27I knew who you meant from the very beginning but it took me a while to remember her name:

Countess Elisabeth Báthory aka "The blood Countess".

Yes indeed!

Countess Erzsébet (Elizabeth) Báthory de Ecsed (1560-1614).

A fascinating (if macabre) character of human history.

Quote from: dayowlron on Thu 12/10/2017 16:40:18If not a queen then perhaps a countess or duchess or maybe that is just a title she was known for. something like the countess of blood.

You are very close, actually (nod)

Quote from: Klatuu on Thu 12/10/2017 16:43:04Lucrezia Borgia?

Nope!

Another bit of info...

When authorities arrived to arrest her they found 1 dead girl, 1 dying girl, 1 wounded girl and many more young girls being held captive waiting for their turn to be tortured and murdered.

Quote from: Mandle on Thu 12/10/2017 12:53:45Catherine The Great?

A good guess, but about 200 years too late!

Another snippet of info...

She was married at the age of 15. Her husband was away near constantly fighting wars. She spent her days with her witchcraft-practicing aunt, her devil-worshiping alchemist uncle, and her pedophile brother.

I am seriously not making this up!

We are on the right track...

While not a "queen" this person is considered to be the most prolific female serial killer in history.
#207
I knew the different name I couldn't think of had a connection to Star Trek in some way! I just couldn't remember (nod)

Next round...

This 16/17th century ruler was rumored to bathe in (and sometimes even drink) the blood of their tortured victims (estimates range between 600-700 total victims).

William Hitler was the nephew of Adolf Hitler and served in the US Navy during World War II. I seem to remember a different last name too but I can't come up with it. If I'm right I will then Google it :)

Perhaps too easy...
A recent theory suggests that this legendary ruler, who died in 1547 at the age of 55, may have suffered from type II diabetes.

Aren't you the one that created it?

I don't immediately recognize the movie... but I think that's Michael Berryman?

Weird Science?

My Science Project?

Both "science" titled movies from [the greatest year in Hollywood history] 1985 (nod)

Yeah, okay!

For the record I tracked it down by searching for "Kathy Bates and Allan Rickman" (didn't realize it was Dustin Hoffman instead of Rickman)and eventually tracked it down. I had never even heard of this movie.

On to the next one which is, I think, pretty simple...

Wild guess...

Boychoir (2015)?

edit did some more digging and I found this image which, I think, clinches it but I'll wait for your validation! (nod)
