Move Over Freddy and Jason..Women Slashers That Kick Ass!

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!

I'd say great list, but as it stands it's only good.

The reason? Where' the hell is Angela !!!!!!!!

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.

Wow so many that I completely forgot about! Thanks guys for replying with them! It really was hard to think of the women slashers!

Angela is from Sleepaway Camp.

Angela is from Sleepaway Camp. 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 is from Sleepaway Camp.

Can't forget little Debbie from Bloody Birthday! Putting an arrow through an eyeball should qualify her for the list!

I was going to say and the whole esther thing. Dude.

How about Angel From Night Of The Demons
MickeyESBBeck Saturday 1/14/2012 at 12:26 AM | 89436
Angela from Night of the Demons is my favorite female slasher. The one from Sleepaway Camp shouldn't really count.
Nick Death Saturday 1/14/2012 at 05:21 AM | 89449
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

Inde and High Tenon, not even close to the same level but Tamara was a cool little movie to
CHROMExSKULL Sunday 1/15/2012 at 01:28 PM | 89492
How about the woman in black from The Woman in Black? Creepiest one of all.
