![]() Note: This list isn’t - and given the finicky nature of fear couldn’t be - comprehensive. In honor of IndieWire’s Seven Days of Scream Queens, we’ve arranged a line-up of the 18 most menacing villainesses in horror movie history: from the titular antagonists of “Carrie,” “Pearl,” and “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” to the veiled villains of cryptic titles such as “Misery,” “Titane,” and “Hereditary.” Below you’ll find both the premise for the women’s terrifying tales - specifically, who they were hunting down and why - as well as a spoiler-ific second category laying out their scariest scenes. For October 2022, “Hellraiser” enjoyed its first leading Lady Pinhead as brought to sadomasochistic life by actress-turned-priestess Jamie Clayton. Megan Fox’s offbeat mean girl Jennifer Check seduced as the centerpiece succubus in “Jennifer’s Body”: lambasting apathetic rape culture with a searing satire from screenwriter Diablo Cody. Pamela Voorhees stunned slasher fans in 1980’s “Friday the 13th” as the unassuming answer to a whodunnit rooted in grief and motherhood. The scariest horror villainesses weaponize the misogynistic tropes that allow audiences to underestimate them: challenging viewers to reconsider how they perceive women, girlhood, and femininity via blood-soaked rampage. But it definitely wasn’t Sally Hardesty with the power tools in “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and, though suspense and spy films have boasted female antagonists for decades, the horror genre has only just begun to position women as the villains with the same balanced frequency as men. Sure, we’ve come to celebrate Final Girls as the genre’s beating heart: scrappy survivors who best their foes and more often than not kick some serious ass. Since even before the days of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, genre actresses have been regularly relegated to damsel-in-distress acts or, worse still, assigned sexist victim statuses that rob their characters of not just their autonomy but too often also of their common sense. (not great, but not bad either).For too long, horror movies have put women on the wrong end of the butcher’s knife. Got those wiz bracers that boost your shields primal. It's so rare to find a usable, well-rolled yeh that last part is what hits me most of the seasons. That being said, there's tons of people who are higher paragon and are not wearing a single primal. You're still unlucky, but not unreasonably unlucky. All those things combine reduce the number. It's really not 1 FS = 1 legendary looted, it's much less.Īlso, the question is when you cleared GR70 to unlock primals, so a chunk of those legendaries are from before that. What also adds to it is the Forgotten Souls drop from rift guardians, and all the Forgotten Souls you get from goblins and caches and so on. I got 5 primals before I'd hit 750 paragon. So you've gotten less than you think.īut yes you're probably unlucky. So for every 100 legendaries - 90 will give 1 and 10 will give 30 - so you'll get 120 forgotten souls. Remember that ancients give 3 forgotten souls and are about 10% drop. Current drop rates are closer to abuse than reward, and with the Paragon system we already have a mechanism to keep the game from completion, we didnt need Primals to be yet another. Personally I dont think its a sensible system at all, Gamers are conditioned to work to completion (unless you play open ended games exclusively) and Primals are the bait used to lure us into playing more because we have that desire to achieve completion. Ill let someone else do the maths but the chance of a wearable legendary being Primal and then even useable is just so low its not a constructive addition to the game, Ive said it before and ill say it again layered RNG is not fun, yes i know its not actually layered in implementation but in play it might as well be. Monk for example has 226 useable items add to that 12 follower tokens and theres only a 0.055 chance of getting even a normal legendary drop thats worn, never mind useable and thats discounting non class loot and potions. With the extremely low drop rate we have the chances of even getting a useful legendary with the desired rolls for a specific build are already low. I still think it was a bad choice not to have that guaranteed first Primal at GR 70 be an item that is being worn. ![]()
