“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…”
When it comes to horror, more often than not it’s women that hold the power and bring about the most devastating of punishments. And when it comes to hard rock, few women are as in-your-face or aggressive as Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey of the hard rock band Butcher Babies, who are gearing up for the upcoming release of their sophomore album, supposedly out later this year.
Both Shepherd and Harvey are huge horror fans, basing much of their lyrics and looks off of the strongest and fiercest women that the genre has to offer. So, when I asked if they’d be interested in each coming up with their own list of the Top 5 Badass Women In Horror, they couldn’t have been more excited!
Now, with their results in, we invite you to see which characters they see stand above all others. It’s a damn good pair of lists, each member offering characters that are iconic in their own rights, all well deserving of the praise they are being given.
Make sure to pick up the band’s music via iTunes.
