Default Women In Horror

The Soska Sisters - directors and creators of American Mary - are a very visible example of women working in the horror genre and they are fantastic advocates for females working in fantastic cinema.





So this week on Facebook, we're celebrating Women in Horror with a daily blog post.

Check out the first post now:

American Mary: Women Filmmakers In Horror - Part One | Facebook

Who are you're favourite female directors or behind-the-scenes people in horror cinema?

Personally, I put Near Dark in my top ten movies of all time, regardless of genre so they'll be a short piece on the director Katheryn Bigelow later in the week.

Blood Diner?

Today's female directed pick is an interesting one, made in the early 80s at the height of the less than sexually equal Slasher boom, Slumber Party Massacre subverts the form...

Both are much better than that Twilight prequel The Lost Boys, though

How dare you compare Twilight to the greatest vampire film from 1987!

Pfft, The Lost Boys would love to be a Twilight prequel, alas it isn't that good.

Ha! The Lost Boys wouldn't scrape shit off their shoes with a copy of Twilight. They wouldn't want to soil their shoes!
