__INTRODUCTION__

 Horror, the genre that is purposefully designed to show us what truly frightens us by bringing our inner most fears slowly to the surface as we watch these movies. The human is generally attracted to these types of films because it allows them to imagine a taboo life that would never happen to them. A branch from the horror genre has spiked new interest to the American people: Slasher. Sadly, women have had the short end of the stick in the uprising of the horror genre as they have yet to get the same recognition as men in horror films.  Over the past fifty years, women have evolved from weak sex-crazed objects to taking the spotlight and being the hero in horror films.
