I mean, there are a few black hockey players as well...you know what I mean?

Yeah I know what you mean, just like there are a few black guys in stock car racing also.

slasher movies always stereotype the characters. even if you don't remember their names, you remember their role. the slutty chick always goes early as does the smartass, the mean one, and the nerdy one. the nice guy usually dies trying to protect the virgin.

very interesting topic.

seems like ur focusing on female victims, how about female agressors?

i know theres not too many, i guess the chick in species would kinda count, Misery too.

the thing i noticed in species (i think, II) was that in the end, where she finally hooked up with the male alien, she kills him ya know? i dont recall why but i remembering thinking 'thats cuz us bitches got to stick together'

as for misery, she was just fucked in the head. but i think thats more along the lines of shes just a psychological bitch, and could really go either way male or female.

how abou carrie? starts off as a nice girl, doesnt fit in, crazy mother and ends up goin ballistic... kinda like Columbine type stuff hm?

also the girl in exorcist.. samara..

There's also May...
and if any of you like female killers, you'll love my movie(hopefully). :p If I ever get it made. She will be similar to May & Carrie, in a way...but different. I want my character to be alot creepier than Carrie and May...I want my movie to be more "exciting", and I want her to torture her victims more. :D

I'm writing it and I'm going to have it filmed myself. :p I have a couple of friends who make their own movies and they're supposed to help me out some.
And yes, I'm gonna play the part of the psycho! :D Everybody thinks I'd make a good horror movie girl and I want to act more than anything so...I've given up on anyone else helping me. I'm just going to make the movie myself soon, before I get too old to play the part, cause to me, there's no point in making the movie if I can't play the main character. :p

Hello all, I am just new to this site!

I need your help!!

Im trying to do my dissertation at the mo, on The female Identity in past and present horror/ slasher films, and i need ur views on the subject. As much feedback as possible would be much appreciated!!

Do any of you have any views on the subject ie, the female as the victim, the man as the monster, the final girl, the different characters or just an opinion on the genre as a whole???

ya know how, ts always the girls having sex with their boyfriends that are quickly killed off, while the virgin (or final girl as you put it) is the one who overpowers the bad and defeats him.

Does anyone agree/ diagree with: the victim-heroine is female who "acquits herself 'like a man'," therefore by the end of the slasher horror film, the typical "feminine" characteristics become "masculinized" through the action of the film.



I need to build up info, possible interviews and others opinions

Please help would be so so appreciated!! :) I need your help!!

Well in the past era's , such as Hammer Films glory days, the female was not always the victim. Ingrid Pitt, one of the Hammer Glamour girls, was the queen of horror in the early 70's. She played a sexy vamp in "The Vampire Lovers" and "The House That Dripped Blood" and could kill you just as dead as a Chris Lee. She also played a social path serial killer in "Countess Dracula" So the female was not always just a victim. In my opinion Ingrid Pitt and the gals in her era can't be touched by todays female horror stars. Of course this is just the opinion of a 46 year old guy who grew up watching horror films with a major crush on Ingrid Pitt!!!!!!! ;) :D She could bite me anytime!!!!!!!!:p :D Ahhhh the good old days of horror.......
