Nurse Mildred Ratched - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Lt. Ellen Ripley - Alien Amanda Young - Saw Annie Wilkes - Misery None of these people fit your criteria. It's also odd that you ask our opinion but are really asking us to vote on which of your opinions are right. I'm not giving you a hard time, just saying that you should be a little more open minded. Maybe instead of simply focusing on women in horror movies you could focus on female victims or female victims in slasher films. Choose a small sub-genre where roles can be a little more accurately assigned.

I agree with Despare. There are too many different factors to pick one of your choices.
Are we talking about women in horror movies in general? Are you considering how their roles have changed in the genre throughout the ages? What about foreign cinema as opposed to American? I think the choices you have would go better with the modern American slasher genre. Even though the roles have changed greatly over the past 30 years, breaking it down to that might be helpful. Especially notice how a lot of females have went from terrified running victims to the cliche modern day take no shit tough girl who takes on the slasher.

You know that when I try to write a screenplay, the main character has no gender at the beginning. I come up with personality traits first. I guess it's just a matter of flippin' a coin for me. As long as someone dies in a fantastic, horrible way, I'm happy!:D

" I like women,beautiful ones. If they have a good face and figure,I would much prefer to watch them being murdered than an ugly girl or man.I certainly don't have to justify myself to anyone about this.I don't care what anyone thinks or reads into it.I have often had journalists walk out of intervews when I say what I think about this subject."
Dario Argento What he said.
