A character, typically evil or sadistic, immersed in a bathtub filled with blood. Frequently, any blood used for this purpose will be a type of Applied Phlebotinum that is intended to cause some fantastic effect on the bather. The Trope Maker derives from legends surrounding the Hungarian "Blood Countess" Elizabeth Báthory, a Serial Killer who purportedly bathed in the blood of young women (specifically virgins, according to some accounts) in order to restore her beauty and youth. While the real Countess Báthory was accused of many gruesome acts, it's certain that her baths in blood are only the stuff of fiction. However, the Blood Bath is very much a key component to be found in any story in which she is featured, and any stories that feature a Blood Bath without Báthory as a character will often allude to her motives for doing this (lifted directly from the legends) and may also mention her by name (or, at least, give a character partaking in this a similar-sounding name as a Shout-Out). The trope can often follow the Rule of Symbolism to deliver a moral tract about the evils of vanity and Immortality Immorality. Characters who bathe in blood often exhibit other qualities closely associated with vampirism, especially when alluding to blood being rejuvenating or how they come to acquire their blood in the first place; Blood Lust and fangs can be commonly noticed as well. In cases not involving outright vampiric entities, characters may be dabbling in The Dark Arts, especially Blood Magic. A less common, but much older, variant of the trope takes after the story of the warrior Siegfried from the Nibelungenlied, whose body was made invulnerable after bathing in the blood of a dragon. This trope is NOT to be associated with instances where bloody corpses are found in bathtubs or any kind of small body of water, like in Bath Suicide or any grisly murders in bathrooms (unless the blood from the victim(s) of said tropes is used for someone else to bathe in, of course). Compare: Blood Is the New Black, where a character ends up covered in gore as a result of fighting. See Also: Liquid Assets, Life Drinker. For bathing and washing in other unusual substances, see Our Showers Are Different. |

Nikolai Dante's invitation to a gathering of the Cadre Infernale led to him meeting the High Priestess of the order, Camilla Le Fanu, bathing in what Nikolai at first thought was red wine. She alludes to the rejuvenating effects of Blood Baths being discovered by Bathory but insists that, unlike Bathory, she gets her blood from young women who are willing to donate a few pints in exchange for a tax exemption. However, it turns out that jobless women who can't pay taxes are bled for all they got. | |

Pathfinder has the Everdawn Pool, a powerful magical artifact created by the Runelord Sorshen. The pool has many powers, but chief among them is the ability to transform the body of one who bathes in it after filling the pool with the blood of several thousand sacrificed sentient beings. The Big Bad of Curse of the Crimson Throne, Queen Ileosa, intends to become an immortal being this way, slaughtering much of the population of Korvosa, including her own followers, in the process. | |

The World of Darkness: New World of Darkness: The supplement Immortals has The Blood Bathers, who gain a sort of immortality by bathing in blood. Their blood bathing ritual is guaranteed to place any characters who partake in it at the very low end of the Karma Dial. Vampire: The Masquerade: The Blood Bath is one of the sacred rites of the Sabbat. It isn't about youth, but more a ritual of baptism and consecration interpreted through the Sabbat's "Crusades-era Catholicism on PCP" lens. Vampire: The Requiem has a bloodline of vampires called the Galloi who bathe in blood to make themselves more beautiful. They're not related to Bathory, though; they take their unique Discipline from the worship of Cybele, which often involved initiates being bathed in the blood of a bull to symbolize cleansing (and...other things). Additionally, both Macellarius and Noctoku tend to feast on blood in this manner; the Noctoku can absorb blood through their skin. |

Variation in the Mortal Kombat remake: the stage at the Bottom of the Pit has blood showers. And yes, standing under them gets your character completely drenched in crimson. DLC character Skarlet is a Humanoid Abomination who gains strength from the blood of fallen warriors (which she consists of). Her fatalities, therefore, involve her enemy's blood spraying/showering over her. Furthermore, her fatality tutorial informs us that Elizabeth Bathory is her favorite historical figure. |

Batman: Garth Ennis wrote a comic (Legends of the Dark Knight #91-93) in which the villain, Doctor Freak, was a drug lord who got people hooked on a drug so he could kill them, fill a pool with their drugged-up blood, and get high by bathing in it. In Batman: The Cult, Deacon Blackfire bathed in blood, supposedly to make himself immortal. |

In The Day of the Dissonance, a group of fairies decide to sacrifice a young girl who they have captive, believing that bathing in virgin's blood will help them. The sacrifice is called off, however, when the girl breaks into hysterical laughter after being told this. It seems she was held captive by pirates for quite a while and is no longer a fitting sacrifice. | |

One of the Magpyr ancestors in Carpe Jugulum is a parody of Bathory (although her name's Carmilla). The modern Magpyrs believe the story of her bathing in the blood of two hundred virgins is highly exaggerated. The bath would overflow if you used more than eighty. They've checked. | |

The first episode of HBO's Rome features Atia taking a nude shower in the blood cascading down from a slaughtered bull as part of a religious ritual in an unspecified Great Mother cult. The ritual was to provide spiritual protection for her son on a journey to meet his uncle in Gaul. Such a ritual actually existed but it was associated with Mithraism not Goddess cults and became popular well after Atia's time. | |

The Moral Orel episode "Innocence" follows Orel as he tries to obtain blood to profess his innocence to God and stay young forever (after separate conversations with the Christeins and Coach Stopframe "teach" Orel about the powers of blood). This leads to his father, Clay, discovering Orel in a bathtub surrounded by Doughy, Billy, Tommy, and Maryenetta, with their wrists cut open and bleeding into the tub in the episode "Grounded". The show itself, however, presents all this in Anachronic Order with the conclusion to these events in "Grounded" being aired first and the set-up in "Innocence" being shown later. | |

Warhammer: The Hag Queens of the Dark Elves practice this, bathing in a magical cauldron filled with blood to maintain their youth. As with so much in Warhammer, the evil blood magic of the cauldrons has been weaponised, and they are wheeled into battle atop grandiose carriages where they act as a focus for the bloodthirsty rites of the Death Hags in praise of the god Khaine - Lord of Murder. The magic of the cauldrons slowly becomes less effective over the centuries, such that the oldest and most powerful Hag Queen - Crone Hellebron - has to endure most of the year as a withered ancient for the few days of youth and vigour it now grants her. A shout-out to this trope occurs in a vampire context, thanks to the magical Blood Chalice of Bathori carried by the vampiress Isabella von Carstein. |

A Judge Dredd strip published in Judge Dredd Mega Special 1995 concerns a pop singer who retained his youth and good looks through The Dark Arts, human sacrifice, and bathing in blood—the literal blood bath being implied to be the most crucial step in the singer's rejuvenation rituals. Strangely enough, 22nd Century technology in Dredd's world has made several means of rejuvenation (including some that are legal) readily available to Mega-City One citizens, which makes it a bit odd to see somebody taking this route, instead. | |

In an episode of Family Guy, God gets pissed at Peter for creating a religion based around himself and starts attacking the Griffins with the ten plagues of Egypt, one of which sees Stewie's bath water turn into blood. While the rest of the family is freaked out, Stewie is enjoying himself. | |

In Kingdom of Loathing, this trope is mentioned in one of the potential descriptions for the stench vampires in Dreadsylvania... and mocked by the narrator pointing out that a bath-tub full of blood would quickly coagulate and rot. In this case, it explains the foul odor of the stench-aligned vampire. | |

In Stay Alive (2006), the vengeful spirit of Elizabeth Bathory suspends Abigail over an empty bathtub caked in dried blood and threatens to have her bled into the tub, heavily suggesting this trope, but Hutch saves a Abigail before any bloodletting could occur. | |

Vampire: The Requiem has a bloodline of vampires called the Galloi who bathe in blood to make themselves more beautiful. They're not related to Bathory, though; they take their unique Discipline from the worship of Cybele, which often involved initiates being bathed in the blood of a bull to symbolize cleansing (and...other things). Additionally, both Macellarius and Noctoku tend to feast on blood in this manner; the Noctoku can absorb blood through their skin. | |

Dubhe Siegfried of Saint Seiya (Anime only) shares his Achilles' Heel with his namesake from the Nibelungenlied— he slays a dragon and bathes in its blood, making himself invulnerable, but at that very moment, a tiny leaf falls on his back (coincidentally over his heart), preventing that bit of skin from being touched by the blood, and therefore making that spot the only part of his body that can be dealt a mortal blow. | |
