Thread: Good murderous old lady films? (***SPOILER***)

I guess it's all relative. "Little old lady" to me means at least 60. When I'm 60, I fully expect it to mean 70. :) -Fas Made you look.

I guess... but I've always seen it as 80+... with a rolling pin and a frilly apron... kinda like something out of 50's tv... but not as evil. "I ate an entire lawnmower when I was six."

I can't believe I forgot that one! She's the most obvious... You ain't seen nothin' yet!

Frightmare's old woman was in her fifties, and played by Sheila Keith. And scary as hell. He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre three

Funeral Home (1980) ---------- When there's no more room for original ideas, remakes will walk the earth.

I think two very good killer ladies films were PSYCHO II and ALICE SWEET ALICE. Is there anyother good horror film with a sweet, apparently harmless old woman being a serial killer?

UPDATED Thu Mar 27 2008 16:53:08 Serial Mom (1994) should count. Kathleen Turner doesn't look old, but she is a middle aged woman who is very sweet, but just murders for her family. Haha. She does great in this flick, and the movie is a lot of fun. Not much horror, but very funny and entertaining. I reccomend it.

Exactly what I was going to say. It's not exactly all that good, but it's still pretty enjoyable. Also, it may not fit exactly, but I would consider Burnt Offerings to be another movie in this category. FUBAR
