Horror movies often feature unforgettable female villains. As thrilling as they are to watch, we can’t deny that many of their rampages are born out of grievances that could have been rectified through non-murdery means. To that end, let’s have some fun and look at the unforgettable Karens of horror movies and TV series.
Cabin in the Woods twists all the traditional horror movie tropes into a series of specially designed tests run by The Director. As usual, it’s all about upper management, or an ancient curse, and the little people don’t matter.
Christina wanted all the power and magic for herself and did not care who she hurt to get it. Don’t act like you didn’t cheer when she got her comeuppance.
I get that Pamela is devastated by her son’s loss, but killing a bunch of innocent teenagers, and saddling us with this franchise, seem like bad ways to deal with her pain. Was therapy not an option?
As talented as Janelle Monáe is, I can’t really recommend this movie about racists who open a terrifyingly accurate Civil War theme park. Despite how horrible all the men in this story are, of course, a woman with made up grievances was really the one in charge.
Christine Taylor may be a lovely person, but Laura Lizzie deserved to go bald, and I hope she stayed that way after the girls lost their magic.
