Women aren't always victims in horror and/or slasher films. For example;
High Tension
I spit on your grave
House of 1000 Corpses
The Devils Rejects
Underworld 1 & 2
Resident Evil 1 & 2
Flesh-eating Mothers
Women have came along way in horror based films, but even in the classic era there were still movies that displayed women as monsters and not just the victims. Consider the many vampire flicks (ie., Dracula's Daughters), Creature flicks (ie., The Wasp Woman, Lair of the White Worm), Slasher flicks (Friday the 13th.) and Zombie Flicks (Dawn of the Dead).
Women practically "own" a sub-genre of horror flicks known as "revenge" films (such as the forementioned I spit on your Grave).
All of the above is just off the top of my head, but if I put some thought into it or checked out my own collection, I'm sure that I would find hundreds of movies that the woman/women are most definately NOT the poor, screaming, running-up-the-stairs victim, but the "bad Guy".
