Chicks in horror flicks are often little more than Bantha fodder, there to get naked and then get dead. Preferably with the greatest creativity possible in both instances. Which makes it all the more notable when a lady shows up who is more than just arm candy and makes you think, “Damn, wish she was MY girlfriend!”
Of course, there’s no specific formula for what makes a great horror girlfriend. But it certainly helps if the lass possesses a healthy sex drive. And is able to keep her cool in a tough situation. An ability to kick some ass is also a major plus.
Usually I tell ya to spit bullets if you think I’ve missed any that should have made the list, and feel free to do so, but don’t be shy to also let us know why your lady is a perfect horror GF!
Would your girlfriend go into Midian to save you? Probably not, eh? But Lori just took her perky little butt into the lions den and took care of business. Of course we know now that it’s the humans she has more to fear from than the “monsters”, but that doesn’t take away from the sheer plucky bravery that she exhibits in this flick.
No reason that we can’t drop a little classy on this list. Especially since most girlfriends would just leave the crippled bastard who starts wielding tales of midnight murder. Instead Ms. Fremont is all into what Jimmy’s up to with his binoculars, even when it includes the chick exercising in her underwear. The possibilities are endless!
I’m just gonna quote my colleague Eric Walkuski here, “cute as a button AND straps on a flamethrower”. Seriously, could you ask for anything more? If so, you’re too f*cking picky.
One of my favorite ladies from recent genre efforts by far, Starla Grant is pretty much summed up in the statement, “Bitch is hardcore.” She also has plenty of complexity in the context of the movie since she’s filling the role of ex-girlfriend, wife, and potential love interest all at the same time. Plus you know she’s got one helluva gag reflex if she can kiss Grant Grant as he turns into a giant slug…let your imagination wander.
Hard to fulfill a horror fantasy better than a super hot chick who is happy to get naked, has a serious S&M fetish, and loves you enough to not eat you when a soul consuming desire to eat brains overtakes her. Of all the ladies on this list, Julie is easily the most tragic figure because she knows what is happening to her, knows the futility of fighting it, yet keeps plugging away because she’s a good person, and she’s in love. Poor damned zombie hottie.
