The Bride (Elsa Lanchester) – The Bride of Frankenstein
The Bride is technically not a villainess, and she only has about 5 minutes of screen time before she is killed, but she provides a perfect foil for Frankenstein’s monster. She is as beautiful as he his hideous. One look at him and she is terrified, leading the monster to kill himself and the Bride.
Julia Cotton (Clare Higgins) – Hellraiser 1 & 2
Julia is sensual and deadly, two traits that do not go well together. She is also a despicable human being, having an affair with Frank, her husband’s brother, whom she later helps murder innocent people for the sake of restoring his body from the Cenobites. She’s even worse in Hellraiser II, since she must now kill people herself to get restored to her original state (which she does much quicker than Frank did, I might add). She uses her beauty to lure men to their deaths and definitely earns a place on this list.
Santánico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek/Eiza González) – From Dusk Till Dawn
Santánico has now been portrayed by two very beautiful actresses, and she is one evil vampire. Well, at least in the film she is. The series turned her into a tragic antiheroine, but I’ll include her on this list anyway, because González is simply stunning.
Sil (Natasha Henstridge) – Species
Sil’s “job” is to be sexy. She is a deadly man-made human/alien hybrid whose sole purpose is to mate and create more alien babies. Henstridge was a supermodel at the time, so it was a smart move to cast her as the alien seductress.
Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) – Bride of Chucky
Some people are annoyed by her voice (I actually kind of like it), but Tilly made Tiffany the perfect partner for Brad Dourif’s Chucky. While we only got to spend a short amount of time with her before she was turned into a doll, but at least we got that super hot dance scene before she turned.
Evelyn Price (Famke Janssen) – House On Haunted Hill
Evelyn is sultriness personified. She’s also a selfish bitch. Janssen’s greatest femme fatale is most definitely Xenia Onatopp from GoldenEye, but since that’s not a horror movie I had to resort to House on Haunted Hill, but she’s still a great villainess in the film. Once again, we have a female character who uses her sexuality to dupe the male characters in the film, and she’s great at it.
Ginger Fitzgerald (Katherine Isabelle) – Ginger Snaps
Katherine Isabelle (most recently seen on NBC’s now cancelled Hannibal) is a fantastic actress, and her breakout role in Ginger Snaps is one of her best performances. Ginger, with her gray streak reminiscent of X-Men’s Rogue, is a beautiful creature, and an even deadlier werewolf.
Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina) – Audition
You can’t blame Aoyama for becoming infatuated with Asami, though his methods of finding her were despicable (he held auditions for a girlfriend). She is a sleek, sexy and also batshit insane. Audition is most famous for its hard-to-watch final sequence, but Shiina competely owns the film in every frame she is in with her seemingly innocent demeanor and eventual reveal into total insanity.
Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon-Zombie) – House Of 1000 Corpses/Devil’s Rejects
Everyone loves Captain Spaulding, but Baby was always my favorite member of the Firefly clan. She is completely unhinged, but there is just something so incredibly sexy about Zombie’s portrayal, who even describe baby as “the angelic-looking bait to get the victims.”
Mandy Lane (Amber Heard) – All The Boys Love Mandy Lane
Mandy Lane was the girl that all the boys had to have in All The Boys Love Mandy Lane. Formerly an unattractive geek (which I wish the film would have shown us), she partners with her friend Emmett in an agreement to murder all of their tormenters and suicide pact (which she later backs out of). Heard is undeniably sexy in the role and the perfect actress to play Mandy Lane.
