Oh. Well, I think women's roles in horror films have been changing drastically since the ERA. Take a look at some of the older films, even...Dawn of the Dead, Aliens (emerging feminism in horror films).
Now we're in Resident Evil and Tomb Raider territory (aggressive, ass-kicking, non-victim female main characters).
We've come a long way since 1931's Frankenstein (whimpering bride cowering in the corner).
