And of course, you’re right. Women in Horror goes all the way back to the day the concept of death entered the human consciousness. Horror as a genre, however….
And so true, too, about The Most Dangerous Game and Terror in the Wax Museum. I mentioned both movies in an earlier draft. All four are essential in the Fay Wray oeuvre.

Of course, Women in Horror goes all the way back to Medea, if you want to get classical about it. Still, I do prefer a horror movie where the women are strong characters and not just some eye candy with an eventual date with your murder weapon of choice. Fay Wray is still one of my favorites and not just in King Kong, but also The Most Dangerous Game and The Terror in the Wax Museum.
