10 of Horror’s Most Ruthless Women

May Dove Canady (Angela Bettis in May)
Why not go full-circle and end where The Woman director Lucky McKee began? Ah, May…what a beautiful soul you were, just looking for someone to love. For someone to talk to. Someone who wasn’t going to stab you in the back the moment you weren’t looking. Again we have another unfortunate individual driven to commit unspeakable acts by those around her. May doesn’t want to build a friend out of other people’s body parts, but in the end we really don’t give her a choice, do we? And the fact that she went ahead and built that friend from the beautiful body parts she harvested from her acquaintances lands May squarely on our crazy list.
Honorable Mentions:
A list of crazy women could go on forever (just kidding, ladies!), but here are a few that just missed the cut:
Betsy Palmer as Mrs. Pamela Voorhees in Friday the 13th, Elisabeth Brooks as Marsh Quist in The Howling, Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, Rebecca DeMornay as Peyton Flanders in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Shawnee Smith as Amanda Young in the Saw series, Charlotte Gainsbourg as She in Antichrist, Geretta Geretta (Giancarlo) as Rosemary in Demoni (Demons), Ellen Sandweiss as Cheryl in The Evil Dead and for feeding, and thus sustaining, man-eating giant crocodiles, Betty White as Mrs. Delores Bickerman in Lake Placid.
Okay, now that we’ve got you all hopped up on crazy femme fatales, don’t forget to check out Lucky McKee’s The Woman, hitting theaters on October 14th.
