there is a creepy pasta re: adenochrome...I thought Bathory-lore states she had to torture them so, their virgin blood was somehow better in whatever insane way she thought it helped her stay young?
Hungarian fokelore is just that, folklore but, it makes for cool spoopy stories. 🧙♀️🧛♀️
supposedly, fear hormones keep you young, so you torture your victim to ensure a good quantity of adenochrome in the blood before you kill
....vitamins also help, i recommend trying vitamins before the torture/ murder/ vampirism thing....
