10 of Our Favorite Sexy Badass Female Horror Characters

Angelique
Angelique was a demon before being turned into a Cenobite. She is the daughter of Leviathan and serves alongside Pinhead in Hell. Her look is of a bald head with the scalp ripped, pulled, and held down with hooks. She wears a deliberately provocative tight leather suit with a dress, a real sadomasochist look that is in keeping with the Hellraiser vision but very different from the other Cenobites.

Film: Hellraiser IV: Bloodline
Monster type: Demon Princess of Hell.
Kill method: Considering she ordered one victim’s skin to be turned into a drum for a “Clown Act,” I would say violently amusing.
Chances of survival if you met her: Low/Very Low. She is a Cenobite; don’t expect any mercy.

The Female
There is something sweet and alluring about the alien in this film as she starts to become more and more affected by her environment. She takes pity on a young deformed man whom she lures into her van and then allows to live, which tells us a lot about her character and that she is a compassionate being. It is obvious that she is lower down on the command chain than the other aliens that drive around on motorbikes and all appear to be male.

Film: Under the Skin
Monster type: Alien.
Kill method: Submerged into a liquid abyss where your body is turned into a bloated piece of skin.
Chances of survival if you met her: Low. If you are a guy and you give her directions.

Alice Abernathy
Alice is awesome and kicks ass… did I mention that she is awesome? Alice worked as a security officer for Umbrella Corporation before being infected with the T-Virus. I think some of my favorite parts of the movie series are from Resident Evil: Extinction, especially when Alice is in the desert and joins up with a convoy of survivors led by Claire Redfield, who is also pretty spectacular.

Film: Resident Evil series
Monster type: T-Virus-infected human.
Kill method: Guns and kickass moves.
Chances of survival if you met her: Low. Hang out with this lady for more than 5 minutes, and something is bound to kill you.
