Chastity Bites is a 2013 comedy-horror film written by Lotti Pharriss Knowles and directed by John V. Knowles.
A feminist blogger and reporter for a school newspaper tries to stop Countess Elizabeth Báthory, who poses as an abstinence counselor in a high school, from killing the school's virgins to stay young and beautiful.

Chastity Bites premiered on June 1, 2013, at the Dances With Films film festival. It was released on video on demand on November 1, 2013, and on DVD on February 11, 2014.
Scott Hallam of Dread Central rated it 2/5 stars and wrote that despite "some fun moments", the film fails to live up to its potential. Patrick Cooper of Bloody Disgusting rated it 3/5 stars and called it "a solid horror-comedy" that comes across as a TV show episode. Elias Savada of Film Threat rated it 3/5 stars and called it a "delightfully cheesy horror comedy". Gordon Sullivan of DVD Verdict called it a feminist film that favors comedy over horror.
