also, if it counts, I heard one of the Wachowski's (Matrix trilogy) is soon to be a woman

I have never excused other women from the degredation of women. We're just as guilty. Save your ammo.

You weren't the "certain feminist" I was talking about. Glad to see you agree with me though.

In case your talking about me, I'm not a feminist. I can see that you have been spending too much time chatting with Sam. Hell, pretty soon you will stoop to his level compleatly and call my son a "cocksmoker" as he did. Wow, that is so much better than talking about gender issues. LOLOLOL

So sad

You asked me to delete the post where that was said (and I did). Why would you re-post such a thing? It’s like you’re BEGGING them to fight with you. And why would you ever imply that I would call your son a cocksmoker? I’ve done nothing to you.:confused:

...Sorry, Avenger. To be honest, I don't even know enough about women horror directors to even comment. I was trying to learn a thing or two. :)

I've been working on a list of female horror directors; it's almost at 150 now. I did include a number of short films, and some of them I don't know how available they've been outside of film festivals, but I think most of them are feature length and on the Internet Movie Database. I haven't included female horror directors who have only done episodes of TV horror series, unless they have also done short or feature films, but I might change that.

The list goes from Stephanie Aldridge (who might become the most prolific female horror director since Roberta Findlay and Doris Wishman) to Jae-yeon Yun. Part of it has been published in a small zine, Ax Wound: Gender and the Horror Genre.

There are some I haven't included yet, because I couldn't tell from the names if they were men or women (as a Chris, I identify). Maybe people here might know? Some of them are listed on the IMDb as female, but the IMDb does have a lot of mistakes in the gender area.

- Nichola Bruce - Wings of Death (1985) {with Michael Coulson} {short}
- Rene Daalder - Hysteria (1998); Habitat (1997); Massacre at Central High (1976)
- Jody Fedele - Samuel (2004) {NOT on IMDb} {short}
- Carol Frank - Sorority House Massacre (1987)
- Isiling Mack-Nataf - Mark of Lilith, The (1986) {with Fionda and Gladwin}
- Tracy Jenkins - Fate: Part I (2004) {with Thomas Hamilton} {short}; Fate: Redux (2004) {short}
- Elly Kenner - Black Room, The (1984)
- Yu-Jin Kim - Yeongung yeonga (1986)
- Beki Laws - Hay Fever (2003) {with Anthony Carpendale} {short} {NOT on IMDb}; Late Night Shopping (2003)_ {with Anthony Carpendale} {short} {NOT on IMDb}
- Jacqui McAlpine - Recycled (2002) {short} {NOT on IMDb}
- Dominique Milano - To Kill a Stranger (????) {NOT on IMDb}
- Michele Pacitto - Mistress of Seduction (1999) {NOT on IMDb}
- Yves Simoneau - Intensity (1997) (TV); "Night Visions" (2001) TV_Series (episode "The Passenger List") (episode "Rest Stop")
- Michio Yamamoto - Yureiyashiki no Kyofu: Chi O Suu Ningyoo (1970); Noroi no yakata: Chi o sû me (1971); Chi o suu bara (1974)

Female writers who have had stories or novels adapted into horror films, and female horror screenwriters also deserve more attention, but I haven't started on a list for that.
