You’ve seen it in movies a million times. There’s a group of teen-age girls at a slumber party all standing in a darkened bathroom ahead of a mirror. They egg one girl on… “Do it! Go ahead, do it!” She faces the mirror, and in a frightened trembly voice says, “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…” And then mayhem follows. Who is Bloody Mary? 

History and legend gives us three possiblities: Queen Mary I, Mary Worth, and Elizabeth Bathory. Who are these women, and what might give them claim to Bloody Mary fame?
