We all love an evil character in our Horror films, they wouldn’t be Horror films otherwise.
For some reason these characters seem even more creepy when they’re female. So this is a list of ten evil female characters in Horror films that are my personal favourites. The list is in no particular order:
 |
|
Regan MacNeil
What a way to kick off the list. Easily one of the most terrifying women in Horror, Regan’s character in “The Exorcist” still gives me chills. |
 |
| Pamela Voorhees I don’t think Mrs. Voorhees gets enough credit for “Friday The 13th”. A deranged woman avenging her sons death by slaughtering the entire staff of Camp Crystal Lake.
|
 |
| Sadako Yamamura We all know Samara from the American remake of “Ringu” (“The Ring”) but it was the Japanese original that scared me more. If you haven’t watched it I recommend you do.
|
 |
| Kathy Bates Ah, good old Kathy Bates, she sure does love her Misery! Kathy’s character is easily one of the creepiest of King’s characters, no supernatural here, just a crazy woman.
|
 |
| Lola Lola is from the recent film “The Loved Ones”. What a great character she is and certainly deranged. A truly scary character from a great film.
|
 |
| Esther Esther from “Orphan” is a great character that had a great twist I never saw coming, very disturbing. You need to watch it!
|
 |
| Bride Of Frankenstein Ah our beloved Bride, Elsa Lanchester certainly scared me as a child, looking back I don’t know why but she still gives me the creeps to this day.
|
 |
| Margaret White There’s no doubting the impact the character Carrie had on the genre but it was her mother that scared me more, Piper Laurie certainly did a great job.
|
 |
| Marie Anyone who has seen “Haute Tension” will know why Marie is on the list, a mad character that messed with my head throughout the film and certainly made me anxious.
|
 |
| Asami Yamazaki Another Japanese entrant, “Audition” is not a film for the squeamish and the character of Asami should be in any list of frightening women in Horror.
|
Honourable mentions:
Mandy Lane – “All The Boys Love Mandy Lane”
Esther – “Orphan”
Carrie White – “Carrie”
Zelda Goldman – “Pet Semetary”
She – “Antichrist”
May Dove Canady – “May”
Have I missed some characters? Most probably but these women truly sent shivers down my spine. Who’s your favourite evil Female character?
