Cold Bitches II: Ice Queens!

Countess Elizabeth Báthory: Don’t be fooled by her regal appearance – bisexual Elizabeth Báthory had the instincts of a common killer! Born in 1560 to an aristocratic Hungarian family, Báthory followed the socially acceptable line by marrying young and living the life of the well-to-do. Upon her husband’s death in 1604, however, all hell broke loose and Báthory began spending her time kidnapping, torturing and murdering young girls. Descriptions of her torturing included beating her victims over extended periods of time, burning or mutilating their hands, faces, and genitalia, biting the flesh off their various body parts, freezing them to death, starving them, and performing “bad” surgery. It is also alleged that Báthory bathed in the blood of her victims to retain her youth and promote beauty.

At first no one cared about the slew of missing lasses, because Báthory stuck mostly to the socially disabled. When low-class resources ran low, however, Báthory started going after the upperclass women, a crime that simply could not be overlooked. Though convicted on 80 counts of torturing and killing, some historians put her count closer 600 total victims. Still, the Countess’ social standing saved her hide – rather than sending her to jail, Báthory’s family simply bricked her up in an isolated wing of their castle, where she went mad and died.

Allan Grimson: “You are a highly-dangerous serial killer who killed two young men in horrifying and appalling circumstances.” Thus spoke Winchester Crown Court Judge Peter Cresswell when sentencing Grimson to life in prison. Grimson has what we call “serious fucking issues.” He beat 18-year-old sailor Nicholas Wright to death with a baseball bat and slit his throat after Wright rebuffed Grimson’s advances. Then, after killing him, the twisted Grimson had sex with the dead body before hiding it in bushes. Grimson’s second victim was also a strapping young man, Sion Jenkins, a 20-year old bartender Grimson lured to his apartment, where poor Jenkins was raped, tortured and later killed. Speaking later of the Wright killing, Grimson remarked, “It was such a feeling. I have never, ever had that feeling. It was a feeling of power. I would say it was better than sex.” Taking a life for kicks? That’s cold, grim shit, son.

Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes (pictured on page one): This dastardly duo definitely give porn stars a bad name. Currently on trial for the murder of Bryan Kocis, Cuadra and Kerekes allegedly stabbed the porn producer twenty-eight times, slit his throat and set him aflame to destroy the evidence. It didn’t work. So, why did they go through all this bloody trouble? The most commonly accepted story claims that the men, who ran an oh-so-classy company called “Norfolk Male Escorts,” offed Kocis to liberate gay porn star Sean Lockhart from his contract with Kocis’ Cobra Video. With Kocis out of the way, they allegedly thought, they could then work with Lockhart, who fucks by the name Brent Corrigan. That’s definitely not a business model we’d advise. But, you know, cold bitches have their own standards.
