Too long have we ladies been second-class horror citizens. Sure we've got tons of males like Freddy to drool over, but females that reign supreme are quickly glossed over. So here are just some of the countless lady monsters that do it for themselves.

This will hopefully combat the negative girls in slasher flicks. Nah, I don't mean bimbos, I mean chicks that cry or hide. Sheez, it is the 21st century and we don't need men to protect us.

I suppose we do need you to help the list keep growing. All ladies of all ratings are welcome, it just has to have horror in it, OK? My blood-craving sisters may leave a note pointing out true horror icons and lesser known gals.

How does a lady make the list? 

Please read before suggesting a lady

Well we had to have some rules, or Jason alone would stack up more women that I can count. So sorry, but just because you got sliced and diced you don't make the list. All the ladies here show themselves to be strong capable women who are equals to the men.

1) She must either kill or be connected to the killer as an opponent or supporter.

2) She can't be a victim unless she had killed/severely injured the killer.

3) She has to be female.

Really, I'm proud of our growing transgender and homosexual films in the horror genre, but there's something just wrong in calling a guy a gal no matter how much womanly stuff he does. Also being gay or transgender doesn't make them less of a man.

So Dr. Frank N' Furter is still a dude. Savvy?

Yes!

The Bride: She had to common sense to scream over a forced marriage. Did any one ask how she felt? No! Females just had to go along in those days, but she didn't A full feminist she threw off the shackles of arranged marriage. Lady, you rock.
