Since the dawn of the slasher genre in the mid-70s, we have been gifted with some truly talented screen queens who have rocked the genre in both film and television. Here are my picks for those who have been the best/most memorable over the last three decades:

Neve Campbell


Jennifer Love-Hewitt


Sarah Michelle Gellar


Anna Faris


Marley Shelton


Naomi Watts


Danielle Harris


Mary Elizabeth Winstead


Katie Cassidy


Emma Roberts


Taissa Farmiga


Maika Monroe


Melissa Barrera


Jenna Ortega

I would add Mia Goth...she does well as the survivor, victim, or monster. Pearl is one my favorite horror films of the last 5-10 years.

Has Maika Monroe done anything other than a horror/thriller movie?

Sarah Michelle Gellar



The undisputed queen of the genre.

And she was SOOOOOOOO fine in her prime. I had a major crush on her. Just naturally pretty. She still looks really good going into her late 40's

I've had a celebrity crush on Mary Elizabeth Winstead for a long time. Unsure how she's looking now, but damn..
