No Jamie Lee Curtis? Wow, I'm surprised!

Haha, and what about Rob Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon? Her ass is shakin' it in all of his movies!

Yeah, I don't totally agree with the list. No Jamie Lee Curtis, no Linnea Quigley, no Dee Wallace, no Barbara Steele..

Yeah, I would replace Bigelow and Meyer with a few of those above names.

Don't get me wrong I like Near Dark. But I can guarantee if Bigelow hadn't directed The Hurt Locker she wouldn't have been listed. Near Dark is only one thing she has done in horror, and it's not like it changed the face of vampire movies...sadly though it looks like Meyer's sparkling vampires are influencing things...ugh.

I feel like I'm talking to Ron Jeremy

Yeah, The Hurt Locker is why I picked Bigelow to be replaced on this list.
