This one's just a bit of fun , collecting pictures of damsels in distress, female vampires , wicked witches and so on from the dawn of horror films to the present day. It's not academic and it's not comprehensive. While fully recognising the enormous contribution made to the genre by , in particular, Germany, Italy and Japan, I'm going to stick with English language films only to keep it sensible.
Obviously what actually constitutes a horror film is fairly elastic . I'll take a broad view, admitting those spoofs that show some respect for the genre like Scream and Shaun of the Dead but not films where the monsters are playing straight man to a comic act like Abbott and Costello. I'm also going to draw the line at films that are too obviously B-movies so nothing by Ed Wood's going to get in.
Two words of warning
1. Every entry will contain Spoilers
2. Titillation goes with the territory- if that offends this isn't the place for you.
OK let's get started ...
