We all know the clasc male slashers like Freddy, Jason, Michael, Jigsaw, Leatherface, and many many more...but in this post I would like to highlight some of the best women slashers of our time that really kick some ass.
Please keep in mind all of the women listed are women who are slashers in a horror film by definition. If you do not agree with one of the listed then please don't make a fuss about it. I did not say these women were "horror icons".
Carrie White
from Carrie
May from May
Pamela Voorhees from Friday the 13th
Baby from House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects
Dollface and Pin-Up Girl from the Strangers
Amanda from Saw
Rachel from American Psycho 2
Esther from Orphan
Tiffany
from the Bride of Chucky
Mary Shaw from Dead lence
The Seamstress from the Seamstress
These are just a few I could think of from the horror films I have seen. If you think there is one that should be mentioned but is not then please share!

Yeah, where is Angela? She may have really been a boy in the original (shut it, if I spoiled that for you then you're not a true horror fan) but she got her wiener chop off at the nut house (heh... nut house) so she was a chick from then on out.

Where is angela from? I guess I'm not a "true horror fan" because I don't know where she's from. Please let me know, thanks.

Thanks man! Sadly I have never seen any of those films, mainly because on the cover of one of them, she has a cheap "Jason" mask so I always thought it was just biting other films. Maybe I will check it out sometime though.

Angela from Night of the Demons is my favorite female slasher. The one from Sleepaway Camp shouldn't really count.

Fuck yeah..This is why I laugh at all the feminists out there who say horror is sexist. If they actually watch the movies, they would know there are lots of bad ass female slashers. My favorite is Baby...And of course there are a lot bad ass heroines too. Women who don't need some man to recuse them from the slashers. . Maybe the cunts who bitch about horror should complain about romantic comedies instead, because every one of those I have seen reinforce a lot of gender roles for women that I don't think are that great
