Lack of Female horror icons

yeh true but still its funny catwoman now i know she aint scary but shes sexy sassy and everything a woman bad guy needs to be

For the most part, I think the sterotype for a serial killer or mass muderer has been a person of male gender. The female being the victim more than not.

As I took a moment to do a little research, I have only found one case: Aileen Wuornos from Florida ( A prostitue that shot 6 men after they were propositioned to have sex ). The list goes on and on for male mass muderers and serial killers.

Would the idea of a female movie killer be one that would work ? Possibly...but so many ideas have been done and redone in hollywood, that they would have to come up with something so unique and original to be accepted.

You don't know my mother 😆

If the Terminators count as horror films, then Linda Hamilton is definitely horrible enough to be a terminator - just not photogenic enough!

The T-1000 is one of my favourite villains. 😈

What about the Midwitch cuckoos in village of the damned? Their leader was a girl-thing. They should of course have been smashed when they were still foetae.

OK boys and girls how about the alien queen in Planet of Blood? That is a rather creepy female horror film nemesis. Florence Marley had curiously overlarge features which made her appear more outlandish 😈 👽

Want to read on some intersting murderous females? Dig this. Not serial Killers or mass murderers per se, but sick bitches no less.

On another August Underground Mordum trip, if you want female horror Icon, it gets no better than Krusty from AU mordum. Shes hot, sick, bi and completely psychotic!

BTW: Krusty is the sexy Little thing bookending my signature. The picture is abit fuzzy though. I would post the full size picture but it has a bare nipple on it and I don't want to piss of the MODS and or ADMINS

here she is.....

thhat is really sick

you wanna see sick go to london dungeon website or TO london dungeon www.thedungeons.com

i think the character from that movie MAY or MAE? (whatever) would be a cool horror female

Hey, how did you all forget Samara in the Ring 😱 ?

Urban Legends had a female killer.

But i agree we need to make a movie with a bad ass female killer.

true, but not a very good one

^^^Yeah the killer in it was crappy.

How about Mrs Lumis in Scream, she was worse.

i dunno i think "Mother" in Psycho was pretty shit, she just sat in the cellar, no lines, one exspresion, talk about wooden 😉
yeah, its prolly just because its easier to make the women look weak and defencless in horror movies and the guys look all big and tough

scream 2 - billy's mother
the exorcist - regan, although possessed by a male demon
all the boys love mandy lane -

Spoiler:
Mandy turns to killing

i think the usually in a straight out gore horror film, it's more likely to be a guy.
i could think of a lot of edging thriller or wha??
Fay Dunaway as Jane Fonda in Mommy Dearest, for example.

I wouldn't want to be gadding around chased by that.

In reality, most killers are male anyway, it's rare for a serial killer to be female compared to men, and the type of killing that is relative to females wouldn't make much of a Horror film.

I find it more realistic in films to have male characters as killers over women, doesn't mean there can't be and I enjoy seeing it going in the female direction. I'm also happy that it's nearly always a woman who survives a horror film(final girl) and gets to kill the monster/killer. 🙂
