Re: Women in horror
 

they always seam to get slashed to bits or die horribly, in most modern horror

In older stuff, I think they were given more chance to live that bit longer, since the acting was better.

I like the idea of women in horror.

Actually naked women in horror might be good......then maybe make it a little less scary.......maybe less than that.......then more naked women.......then some oil..........bit more.......more.......then make them wrestle................more.........tag team.......double team.............more and more women.............more wrestling...............and.......i'm spent........


.......................sorry, what was the question again????

I disagree. The 80's were all women must die, but I'd say the last 15 years or so women have been given the heroine or killer role a lot more often. The 'Scream' series, the garbage 'I know... 'series. Hell, even John Carpenter films have female heroes. And Romeros films always have heroic women in them.

what about Morticia from the adams

Women are represented as men are represented; just smart enough for the plot (hehe, "plot") to continue. Possibly smarter, since the survivor is always female. One could go quasi-Freudian and overanalyze it ("see, the weapon is phallic, and the big male serial killer penetrates the female victems..."), but that's all a bit much

the thing that really sucks is that the actresses doing the nudity get killed first, and the prissy ones survive.

It should be the other way around...

viva la nudity !
